Honda Racing Oil HP4M
#12
It defintely feels that way....in my head or not? You must try it to judge. I still have 8 quarts left...$15 shipping, I can send you 4 quart if you willing to try HP4M/Moly? But many afraid to use this oil. Pro honda did endorse saying better mileage & increase horsepower. Why & how one can proof this. Maybe your right, it's all in the mind? Lets start another thread... If oil affect HP? Which lead to better throttle respond?

Heres the thing , its really not about 'gains' , its about limiting loss...generally parasitic. If your going from conventional to full synthetic there will be less frictional loss overall and the potential to feel an assumed gain.
The caveat though is even in a car, changing "ALL" lubricants to full synthetic from conventional (Engine,Tranny,Rear/Axels,ect) may result in 3%-5% at most as evidence by typically stated dyno results, in a motorcycle the parasitic loss is FAR less than that of the entire drivetrain of a car. Therefore you may be talking about as little as 1%-2% at most... and that assuming your coming from a full compliment of convential as a base point.
Switching from full synthetic to full synthetic, it's more likely that your mental side is just trying to justify the purchase and qualm all the questions you've posed for yourself in this thread.
Most likely.
But if you happy overall then that is all that really matters so dont worry about it and go ride.
