Its funny to see some of the posts on oil forums about you need to run this oil or that and spend 10 bucks or more for a quart of the latest goop...
Then you look in the sig lines and you see that some of these guys don`t keep a bike more than 3 years....

Do you really think there is a need for another magical oil ? When there's too many of the same thing available, the demand drops for any particular product. And being your customers buy 1 qt of it at a time, and you only have a small percentage of the market, it's gonna take a long time to realize a profit from your investment. Here's another fun fact. Only a small percentage of the motorcycle sold today use a separate primary or transmission oil. The rest are lubed by the motors oil. So where's all the big profit gonna come from?.,,,

Since your new to Motorcycling I won't be too hard on you. Can I have your proof of market research to backup your statement?. And here's a FACT! it's called Amsoil, not Amsols. If you doubt my statements, why don't you prove me wrong. Along with market share numbers. Do some research on your own to find out that not every bike on the road has 2 or 3 compartments for oil. let us know when you find it all out. That'd be great.,,,

Amsols was a type-o, but I'm quite certain you knew that. And he who claims something to be true bears the burden of proving it; you started this with your claims. Yes, you got me...brand new to motorcycles... Was it that obvious?

I know this is an old forum, but I will give my past experience with Amsoil Primary Fluid on my Fatboy. My engine was upgraded from 96 to 107, and the HD heavy duty clutch spring was installed. The first dyno test resulted in clutch slippage. The bike only had 6k. The mechanic advised me to dump the fluid and use a different brand. The 1st dyno tune was not done very well (the hp and torque was low), so the bike was dyno tuned by a different shop mechanic which was recommended by Bobby Wood. The engine was tuned, but the 2nd mechanic advised he was getting clutch slippage. I agreed to have him drain the fluid and use a different product. No clutch slippage after that. When I called Amsoil about the issue, they asked if the engine had any upgrades, to which it did. The associate related their primary fluid is only for vehicles with no engine upgrades. So in my opinion, do not use Amsoil Primary Fluid.
