Re: [ST] oil

["Masiak, Richard" <Richard_Masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was gonna just let this alone, but I couldn't resist.

Back in 1992 I met a guy who sold me on DuraLube.  I put it in all my cage vehicles and motorcycles.  First my 1986 Yamaha Radian, then my 1994 GoldWing, and recently my 2000 Sprint RS.  No problems with clutch slippage on any of the bikes here mate.

So I question, what are friction modifiers? and are they in a product like DuraLube?  If so, like I said, no problems from my  end.

You are good to go.  The friction modifiers are supposedly what will make a clutch slip, thus the motorcycle would prefer to not have them.

I have a couple jugs of gold cap in my garage right now ready to go into
my S3/ST for future oil changes.  Your comment on "It does NOT have
friction modifiers according to everything I can find." kinda worries me
now.  SHOULD the oil we put in our beloved Trumpets have friction
modifiers ?  I thought I had the right oil to use for future oil changes
but now I'm not sure.

Cheers.
