My Amsoil experience wasn't so good...at 5k miles on My 08 RKC I changed to the Amsoil 20/50 MCV, their premium M/C oil, I had been running Motul 7100 syn, Motul's best with no problems.
The following day after a full day of hot weather riding when the bike was first started I ha excessive top end noise, something I never heard from this motor, My boys at the local shop told me and kind of what I suspected, lifter bleed down.
After experiencing this 3 times I drained the Amsoil and went back to Motul with a K & N filter and this problem is gone and the motor is much quieter.
I don't know what the explanation is for this, obviously something with viscosity when hot...just thought I would share this experience and wondered if anyone else has had the same issue with the Amsoil, I thought it was one of the best, now I'm not so sure.
