I'm an oil nut. I've got so many different brands and grades in my garage it's retarded. But I wanted to try all the heavyweights in my bike and see for myself,from experience,which reduced noise,how quickly the rpms hit and so on.
Royal purple and motul were the top dogs as far as noise reduction. Mobil 1 was the absolute loudest. Mobil was so loud it was like a can of marbles rattling. Amsoil v-twin 20w-50 was about the middle but if I substituted a quart of straight 60 and that helped quiet it down.
Of all the oils I tried pennzoil 20w-50 auto oil was the quietest. And it was also the cheapest.
Try motul next time. Great stuff

I'm using their "3000" 4T MINERAL 20W50 in both engine and primary. Engine oil pressure holds well against temperature in congested traffic (even when 105°F outside) and my clutch performs evenly. I usually keep first gear engaged while waiting and this is a "killer" for non JASO-MA oils.
