You might want to check with your local motorcycle shop to see what synthetic oils they carry.

What a pity we don't have Amsoil distribution in Spain. I see there's some discussion about Mobil 1. Anyway I've heard Mobil 1�s been bought by British Petroleum, and from now M1 will be substituted by BP. Probably this just affect to Spain or Europe. Don't know. Any other advise about "anti-slipping oils". I�m using Gulf Multi Grade 20/50.

RE: Suspicious clutch. WHAT?!?!?!? Amsoil isn't any better than regular Dino juice!?!?! BLASPHEMY!! This can't be true!! Amsoil is the "Oil of the Gods!!!" They've been making motor oil since dinosaurs started dieing!!! They've made millions through MLM type sales for years because they are soooooo muuuuuuch better!!!!!!! :^) :^) Ready for Henry! Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kevinhawk.com Y2K Kawasaki ZRX1100 //'93 Yamaha GTS1000 //'85 FZ750 If you use Amsoil, try the series 2000. I've run several tests on the regular Amsoil and it does not test any better than regular (high quality) dinosaur oil. I use Blackstone Laboratories. In any event, I would replace the clutch.
