Question Amsoil Users

How many are using Amsoil in their bikes? Just bought a 2006 Street Glide that is using it and wondered if I should stick with Amsoil or not...

I hear it's good stuff, however I've been running nothing but Castrol in everything since the early Seventies. Personal opinion I know, but I will never use anything else in scoots or cages.
My $0.02

I think you are likely to get a lot of "personal opinion" but I can't ever remember anyone saying anything bad about Amsoil. I switched to it the day I bought my bike and haven't looked back... why change? Stick with it in my personal opinon.

Last year I changed my RK over to Amsoil and it completely surprised me; after riding it awhile there was a noticeable difference in the shifting.

Been using it since 2007 and really like it. Bought my bike used and had 20000 on it. Had the cam chain tensioners checked and they were worn out. Replaced them. Had just started using Amsoil. Had them check again at 45000 and they looked like new ones. I ask a Head Harley Davidson tech about Amsoil and he said it don't get no better then Amsoil. So it went in my new Ultra after 1000 miles. It's expensive, but so are Harleys.

Just switched from Amsoil to Valvoline full syn. Same specs 1/2 the price. But if I have to switch again it'll be Amsoil.
