There's a member that's been using cheep Walmart oil in his bike now for over 100k miles so use what you want just change it when your supposed to.
Yep. Really. Never heard that from you or others but that's probably because I haven't read many of the "oil" threads posted in the forum. Good info although I personally have never experienced foaming... Except when dealing with rabid dogs or dirty girls. I certainly agree with Tucci though as far as changing at appropriate intervals.

Thanks...

I've ran syn3, amsoil, mobil1,and now motul,only 1 that i could tell any difference was syn3 (noisy and oil pressure fell faster when getting hot).im thinking any motor oil in the motor,any gearlube in the gearbox,anything that says v-twinn in the primary.

Used it in my 08 Heritage for 40,000 miles, no problems. Just changed out the break-in oil at 1000 miles for Amsoil in my 2013 Street Glide.

Use it in my bike and also in my son's bike. Never had any issues with it. I use it in the motor only.

I used it to break in my 97" BB 8000 miles ago. Still does not use any between changes and still running the 20/50 Amsoil.

just switched to it from mobil 1 vtwin. The indy in town that I use recommends it and Spectro oils. I never had a problem with the Mobil 1 but I figured Id try the Amsoil this time and see what happens. It was only a couple bucks more since I got a discount on the Amsoil.

Been running their 20-W50 for years and would not use anything else. Used to burn a half to a full quart in my 01 FLHR between oil changes using dyno but no mo. If you join their using their nominally charged fee you can buy all you want at a significant discount. I buy cases at a time.
