Testing Motorcycle Oil
It looks like the testing was done before oil prices shot up over a year ago. Very interesting read.
From the beginning of the article "This article is from the February, 1994 Motorcycle Consumer News in the article "Motorcycle Oils vs. Automotive Oils"."
Motorcycle Consumer News has since revised their position and now recommend motorcycle specific oils.
Now, if you have a bike with separate engine, transmission, and primary oils, go ahead and use whatever. But when these components all share the same oil you need one formulated for that purpose.
edit: Whoops. I posted before I got to your post Greg. Great minds and all that .
But Greg's right Bob. It's your bike. I'm more than happy for you to experiment.
