Many of you are very hesitant to use an oil with moly in a bikes transmission. Thought maybe you'd like to see what mine looks like. Had to replace my gasket on the clutch side so I drained my gear oil and pulled it apart and here is what it looked like after running the Schaeffers 239s 30wt http://www.schaefferoil.com/data/239S.html since 12,000 miles when we got it and it now has 28,000 on it. Not one ounce of trouble with the clutch slipping or gear shifting.

And for those that want to really inspect this I have a bigger much closer copy on this link.

The looks awful purty, Bob. I haven't heard from baby bro' about his Kawasaki Ninja. I bought him 5 qts. of 10W40 Micron Moly.

Isn't it though!... I was ready to start cleaning this thing out but was extremely happy with the way this looked. Didn't clean nothing but the old gasket off, and replaced that.

Now I forgot to mention that I did put in some neutra approx 200 miles prior to changing. I don't think it did anything for me because through the inspection area it appeared to look like it does now but Just for fun, I stuck about 2 ounces in and ran it. It did prove to me that it did not affect my clutches also.
