Thanks for the reply Poco. I could always count
on this website for quick and reliable feedback.
The price is $10.99 cdn funds/quart which is the same
price as the Syn3 from the dealer. So I guess
Purple it is. Anybody ever tried the Max Gear in their
transmission?

RE: What about Royal Purple?
Has anyone smelled a burnt oil smell when you back out of the throttle? I changed from syn 3 to RP and I can't get anyone to ride behind me. The smell seems to be coming from the breather.The bike only has 5k miles on it. no smoke and its not using any oil.

I am a contractor by trade, and did a job for a engineer for BP/Amaco, and he was telling me that Royal Purple has a form of a "MOLY" (Sorry, I can not remember the actual word) and it is very slippery when new, but if left in for awhile, it will turn into a type of sludge! This is something they were looking into putting in Castrol oils, but decided not to due to the sludge factor! Is it good oil? He said yes, If not left in to long! I asked what does thiat mean? He said, all he would say is "HE USES MOBIL IN HIS CARS", and that should speak for it self!
He had this "MOLY" and I did see and feel it, yes, very slippery, but at the bottom of the can was sludge! You can take my word, or you ca not, it is up to you! I would not use it after he shown me what will happen!
