the play stands ?  NFL referee talk. My further reviewing took place this morning. I grew tired of paying $11.50/quart for Amsoil's top fully-synthetic oil. Thus, I did some reading online and came to the conclusion that I have been spending too much. Yes JOG, and the rest of you - I got it now. This time it was for my car. I paid $22.88 for a 5-quart jug of full synthetic Mobile 1(0w-20) at Walmart. Hell, 2 quarts of Amsoil costs more than that. I' ll be looking at the Rotella(that seems so highly-touted around here) full synthetic for my bike soon.    

FYI, WalMart typically has sales on Rotella that will save you a few bucks over an auto parts store. I think I usually buy the gallon jug around $11.99 or so.

mobil1 for the cars is fine, but it's got the clutch killing stuff we can't use in the bikes.

so Rot for the savage.

I bought this bike with only 3,800 miles on it......the previous owner told me he used the oil the dealer sold him.  The exhaust rocker and camshaft lobe were toast.  I believe the owner would let the bike warm up while sitting on the side stand, which leans the bike over to the left and this seems to starve the "uphill" side of the cam for oil at the slow idle speed.  The symptoms would be noisy valves, and the need to adjust the valve clearance frequently.
