Right..but I just wanted to make sure the GN4 does not contain moly...the HP4 comes in both the non moly and moly flavors....thats why they make trhe distinction on the label...

i use car oil...third gen uses car oil...lots of riders i know use car oil...

use what you want, but do not push your false information on the board unless you got stuff to back it up.

as long as the oil is labeled as non-energy conserving then it's fine to use with wet clutch.

moly is present in many motorcycle oils (honda GN4, HP4, etc.)...just not in quantities large enough to make your clutch slip.

a test done by sportrider awhile back regarding motorcycle specific oils found moly in oil that claimed to have no moly in it...it was in trace amounts. conclusion was that a little moly is not enough to make the clutch slip.

I get this big bottle of Castrol synthetic from dealership for 30 bux. I don't change my oil every weekend like racers so I think the peace of mind is worth a few bux.

What brands car oil U using? Syn or non-syn?
