Lee, is this the regular T6 that anyone can grab off the shelf at Wally World or is this a "motorcycle specific" T6?
I have Spud's favorite 15w/40 in my RX3 right now for break-in but prefer to run a full synthetic after break-in in all my bikes. I want to run a 20W/50 because that's what the neck tag on the RX3 specifically calls for.
Like I stated in my last post, I've never had any real issues with clutches or anything running car oils in my bikes in the past....though the new oils have changed quite a bit.
