Put 430 miles on the bike today with Delo in the engine and it performed wonderfully. Rode most of the trip above 5,500 RPMs and there was no oil consumption that I can tell.

VERY, VERY PLEASED!!!!!

It was good....just got home after a quick 1,100 miles and the oil seemed to keep the engine very smooth, shifting smooth and good.

The big deal here and what I want to report is that....absolutely no clutch slippage occured, even when I tried to make it happen. Delo is the real deal and a great choice for shared sump, wet clutches.

I will also admit that based on Rick_A's reports...I will continue to be a Delvac fan. It has shown to be the best in regard to low Iron numbers and is solid in holding it's grade.

most api CI and CI+ hdeo oils would easily PASS the JASO spec for clutch coefficient of friction, but would FAIL on the ash content.

api CJ oils would most likely pass the entire sequence of testing.
