My bike didn't like mobile 1, I used it once and that was it. My bike does seem a lot quieter with Amsoil 20-50

Unless anyone has actually measured sound levels it's all just subjective guesswork.

No, this is not true. I have a finely honed sense of hearing. I can hear a robin sigh a quarter mile away. I can hear the whisper of a summer breeze while tearing down the freeway at 80 mph.

Changed my oil to M1 v-twin 20-50 for the first time. Seams quieter to me than oils I've used lately, M1 15-50, Quicksilver v-twin 20-50. No foaming on any of these oils. Might just be a tad but seams it is idling slower.

Saw dust in gear oil use to quiet gear boxes and rear ends done might work in engine . But don't try it.

We all want to eliminate the tick,tick,tick, and minimize the Harley clunk, yes we are all guilty of it. There are two things that are for sure . You want to eliminate the tick, install rockouts . You want to eliminate the clunk, buy a honda. That's all there is to it, end of conversation.
