Skuuter,
I'm not attempting to be a smarta$$ at all. I know that in recent years you have not kept bikes for a very long time and you trade around alot, so I wouldn't think that you would put a staggering number of miles on one bike. Therefore the long term effects of using a certain oil can't be seen. Have you had any other bikes in the past that you have used this iol in and stacked alot of miles on? Again, I'm not calling you out at all. Just wondering.
I trade bikes a lot only in recent years(only since 2001)....have owned several bikes with 80,000 to 100,000+ miles on them over the years. I also always own more than one bike, so some stay longer than others as some get traded. A lot of the bikes I own now see 16,000 to 27,000 miles per year of daily riding. Lot of start-ups, shut-downs, twisties, cruising, etc. I had a little 750 Shadow(single/ divorced) that had 112,000 on it in 40 months once(and I owned some other bikes while I kept it).........sorry, I can't give better "qualified" opinions, maybe riders that ride "more often", and rack up "more miles" could give better evaluations on oil "durability"............................ :rolleyes:
