You know how hot it gets in Florida especially when the motor is cooking on main st in Daytona. Amsoil significantly reduced how hot the motor gets and eliminated a ton of valvetrain noise. Simply put, I run Amsoil in all my bikes and vehicles.

Well I finally forked up the money to see the big difference and I must say I am rather happy with it I do believe it runs smoother and idles much nicer and over the last year I am a buyer for life I put it in my bike and that was a much more noticeable impact and I loved the way it ran and felt also kept a temp on it over the course of the year and above anything else that dropped to a much better temp not nearly as hot as it was with one dealer oil

Found the difference shows up in early spring and late fall, shifting seems to be easier and everything just seems to run smoother

When I had a Suzuki GSX-S750 a handful of dealerships suggested Amsoil and it's something I've used in all of the bikes I've owned now. While it works amazingly well and keeps an engine cool while lasting longer than some oils, I find the only fault is the higher price.

I had been using Mobile 1 in my Valkyrie. During a trip from Denver to Tucson on a Memorial Day weekend I noticed clunky shifting when I got to Tucson. The temp was pushing 100 and we encountered some stop and go traffic. The tranny was definitely shifting hard. It seemed that the oil had broken down more than normal. That summer I was at a goldwing rally and stopped at the Amsoil booth to talk with a representative. I told him about the hard shifting. He told me that Mobile 1 had reduced the amount of silicates in their synthetics. He told me to try the 10W-40 Metric. He said I would notice a difference. He's the rep, he has to say that. However, I had heard good things about Amsoil from some other riders so decided to give it a try. What an unbelievable difference. Just shifting into 1st (which there is usually a clunk) and driving out of my neighborhood the shifting was smoother than it ever had been. I gave that oil change 5000 miles. Our trip that summer was the remainder of Route 66 from Amarillo to Santa Monica. Going thru Needles it was 106. Never did the shifting get hard or cluncky. My Valkyrie has 108,000 miles and I also bought an 05 Wing which shifts smooth as silk. Best oil ever!!

Been using this stuff 4 years exclusively since the price of Spectra went out of control. I have ridden and raced Yamaha's since 1964 and never had an oil leek with the exception of the oil seal on 650 twins clutch disengagement rod. This is a common problem with any oil, and it only ads 2 chain lubrication with an oily back rim. The problem I have been having is with the 650 Seca II clutch cover gasket they cant stop ANSOIL from seeping out after time.

From the first time I used Amsoil to present day use... I always am reminded about how good your products are. First time I used Amsoil in my 1996 Lincoln Mk VIII, it had a sticky valve and always made a tick tick tick noise...always. After two years of driving That Lincoln i tried Amsoil and 5 seconds after startup... that tick went away. Plus mileage went up a few points.
Fast forward to my first oil change on my 2013 Honda F6B motorcycle. Bought it used like most of my vehicles and I was getting around 34-36 mpg. I bought the Amsoil for Metric Bikes 10-40. First tank of gas I went up 4 mpg. I have been riding motorcycles for 40 years and I ride out in the Texas hill country pretty aggressively for fun. But how nice to get an average of an extra 20 miles of driving range from the same amount of fuel.

Great product.....been using it for years. Had an old bike repaired years ago. Mechanic replaced shift fork in trans. He commented how clean the engine and trans were inside. This bike had been sitting for almost 20 years. Used amsoil for a year prior to repair. Shift fork was damaged by a young rider not by lack of lubrication. Mechanic was totally impressed. Sold me on the product. I use on all my new bikes today. Never an issue. Superb heat disapation and lubrication. Highly recommend this product.

I use Amsoil in everything I own with an engine. It goes in my new car, my old bikes and my lawnmower. I use it when I service someone else's engine. I get extended oil changes in everything so it's less expensive than the bargain stuff from the local auto store. I use the Ea filters whenever possible because they filter smaller particles which means my engines last longer and run cooler. I can't think of any reason to use anything else.

My application is for a 2007 Suzuki GSXR1000 about 20k miles on it and well maintained. This 10w40 metric full synthetic oil does not cause clutch slippage at all and provides excellent engine protection. I ride to work and live close to home as a daily driver and I can now change just once a year since I typically drive about 2000 miles per year anyway. It shifts smooth and I notice less engine noise/vibration especially in the bars.

I've been using Amsoil 10W-40 motorcycle oil in my street bikes for over 15 years. I had a CBR600 with 95000km that used Amsoil from the first oil change. That bike had a spirited life with lots of commuting and many high paced track days. At that high odometer it had great dyno numbers, didn't burn any oil, and had never had any engine problems. When I was replacing my clutch at about 85000km I inspected some engine internals and it was amazing how clean a free of wear everything was.

I personally run AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil through my road bike for the street and race bike at the track. This oil has always held up very well for me and always seems to outlast the filter. I swap it out every time I make a filter change (just out of habit), but it always looks as clear as when I first put it in.
When racing, I'm always on the throttle and make very hard downshifts (probably worse than I should). I have yet to see this oil deteriorate on me, even when stressing a motor very hard. I couldn't be happier with its performance so far this race season.
I recommend AMSOIL products to everyone I come across, whether on the street or at the track. As long as they continue to make high quality products, I will
continue to do so moving forward.
