After 2300 miles of using Molble 1 . I just tryed adding 10 oz of Lucas pure synthetic oil stabilizer to my oil to help with the same sewing machine. And I was VERY happy with results ! It lower the sound coming from the top end some what '' about 30 to 40 % ''. I will keep using it for sure. 2004 1200C Check it out the next time your in a store that sales it.

go out and get yourself some louder pipes and you won't even hear the ticking at all.
