----Blackstone Comments--- ---
High wear and silicon are common finds in new engines, such as your Twin Cam. The excess wear metals are from new parts breaking-in while silicon is from sand-casted parts and sealers used when assembling your engine. Both should improve with subsequent oil changes. Universal averages are based on an oil run of ~3,100 miles. No fuel or moisture was found and the viscosity of the sample read normally. The TBN read 5.3, plenty of active additive remaining. A reading of 1.0 is too low. Try 3,500 miles next. Wear should improve despite the longer oil run.

RE: UOA

Oops... The oil is supposed to be SYN3. Dealer did it for 1k service. Of course, I have to take their word that they actually used what I paid for...

I didn't taste it so I can't be 100% sure

RE: UOA

Why would you think it's time to trade? Looks pretty good for a bike that really ain't even broken in all the way.

I have removed the sarcastic comment. My intent was to post the facts as they were presented. Leaving some sort of record for any who are interested.

OK, glad to hear it. Guess I'm kinda slow in the humor department (sorry bout that). Blackstone labs is a really god deal for those who are truly interested in what's going on with their oil. Good to see your bike is doing so well isn't it? I would reccomend you keep it that way with a good quality synthetic (I use mobil 1 products in everything I own...amsoil is another great product too). Also K+N makes a great oil filter, and there is an oil cooler out there called "Billetcool" that's not ugly, has no lines to connect or leak, and does a great job of cooling oil.
