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.
