If there were an absolute best we would all know it and we would all use it. I use Mobil1 VTwin simply because it is available virtually everywhere. Is it the best? I have no idea. But it is surely good enough to protect the engine.

Serious question

Does anybody know of anyone that had a oil related engine failure that changes their oil as recommended?



As for me. Mobil 1in every bike I have. As stated earlier it is highly available.

Aw come on guys, everyone knows you have to use the HD brand oil and filter ...if you don't, the bike's warranty is void.
