| I agree. Apparantly 200k is a lot for bikes. Maybe because American's are used to harleys. |

Good point. Amsoil is really trying to hit the motorcycle market hard so they have harley articles all the time. |

Atlanta Area | I'll say it one more time.... FANTASTIC OIL, quiets the tranny, nectar of the gods...
However, it has been proven to cause clutch slippage on SOME bikes... No all, but some... just sayin' |

New Bohemia, VA | Uncannily I am finding Rotella 5w40 even more quieter than when using AMSOIL and no adverse effects, yet. I see the 5w helps with start up with no ticky-ticky noises. |

Atlanta Area | I am having very good luck with the Rotellla T5 semi synthetic 10w-40 in the silver jug. Motor and tranny are quiet, no clutch slippage and 16 dollars a gallon... |

New Bohemia, VA | I'm curious now, do you have personal knowledge of how many times it has been torn down Kevin? That's a significant piece in making a claim, but it would be no surprise if that was zero.
I'm over 83,000 miles and the motor is strong, does not use oil, leak or smoke. I see well over 100,000 on mine without ever going into the motor, but that is yet to be seen. |

Rhode Island | The only difference I notice is with Vic oil the transmission really starts to clunk louder when shifting and neutral harder to find at about 1800 mile during hot weather, good to 3k oil change with Amsoil. Not so noticeable in colder spring and fall; can't say I notice the quieter motor but I only use the 10w40 not the 20w50.
