It's good enough to keep those diesels alive. And these High class Modern oils are not what was available when the crude valve train in these bikes was designed. If not for the valve train, then they'd be fine. As is, a less expensive, old school oil does a better job of keeping these dinosaurs alive. How many 100,000 miles or close to it guys here? I'm sure of one, and I think there's a couple pretty close. And, IIRC, they run Rotella. At thirteen bucks a gallon, instead of two quarts, the savings mount up as maintenance costs drop. And wrenching time , fun as it is, just isn't Near as fun as riding.
