Author Message   Skipbr Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 10:11 am:        I am preparing a new 1125R for AHRMA, CMRA, & WERA roadracing. Engine has 150 miles with Race ECM and factory race kit pipe. Broke it in with the oil that came in it. I am thinking of using Mobil 1 V-Twin oil. Any issues with the clutch slipping? Any oil opinions or experiences from racing to share?   Strongbad Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 04:44 pm:        Syn3, Motul 300V, and torco have all been used by the factory without any issues. No experience with Mobil-1 though.   99buellx1 Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 05:03 pm:        I was talking to Gearhead yesterday about oil. He ran Amsoil all last season (I believe without changing it as a test for our local rep) and then it was sent out for an oil analysis. The results were that the oil was still good. ...I'll let him explain it better.   Coolice Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 06:12 pm:        Spectro Oils are good too   Gearhead Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 07:19 pm:        Like 99buellx1 said, I've run AMSOIL the last three seasons in my XB12R racebike and have had great results. My dealer asked me to run the oil a little longer, five full CCS sprint race weekends, so he could have it independently tested, especially for viscosity shear back, wear metals and oxidation. Yes, I was a little nervous about leaving it in that long! I’m not an oil expert but the results came back for the 20w-50 with a viscosity of 18.8cST. The range for 50W oil is 16.3 - 21.9. Oxidation and wear metals were next to nothing. This oil was still good enough to run for quite a while longer. I’m very satisfied with their products but I will probably change oil a little more often this season anyway!! www.racingwithralph.blogspot.com   Fresnobuell Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 11:28 pm:        Guess amsoil isn't all hype. Cool to hear the real world results.   Redbuelljunkie Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 10:48 am:        Amsoil ain't hype... it's the real deal.   Rmr Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 05:40 pm:        Last years championship was won with Lucas Oil!   White79bu Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 07:05 pm:        Amsoil for me.   Paint_shaker Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 07:45 pm:        Amsoil here. Ran 7 race weekends, consisting of one 20 lapper and two 8 lap sprints each weekend. Changed the oil at mid season. No issues to report. Oil still appeared to be in good condition. Won 2 Regional Class Champsionships along the way!   Jersey_thunder Posted on Thursday, January 28, 2010 - 07:08 pm:        MOTUL 300V 15/50 FOR US...   Buellrcr Posted on Thursday, January 28, 2010 - 07:10 pm:        amsoil is the only thing to run. i run it in everything.   186bigtwin Posted on Thursday, January 28, 2010 - 07:38 pm:        Amsoil is a great product.........   Maru Posted on Monday, February 01, 2010 - 07:05 pm:        Brad Penn.
