Guys, Everyone has there personal opinion on oil. However, how many of you guys really know what is the most important aspect of engine oils for motorcycles? Package, Base stock or the additives as these really are the only things in a bottle of oil. Is it a PCMO (passenger car motor oil) or a HDEO (heavy duty motor oil)because IT matters. If you said the additives you are a informed individual. There are more additives that are available for any aspect in motor oils than any other types and grades of oil. I blend oil additives for a living and can tell you the best and worst oils on the market for any particulur application-and I garauntee you will not geuss the good from the crap - SERIOUSLY! If Kawasaki has blended an oil for the engines they have made I can suspect they have their poop in a group with the additives and base stock for the price aspect of thier oil.I could blend an oil for the air cooled engines that would actually reduce friction to the point you COULD feel it rite after you put it in, BUT, you are going to need to use a lockup clutch to squeez the clutch together at mid to high RPMs. It would be easy!
Hello Mcspeed.1:
I actually am curious about your opinion for a good motorcycle oil, you didn't specify even though you are in the industry.
