Disappointed in the apparently poor viscosity retention, but I also don't know what "TR" represents in fuel dilution percentage. They warn on aluminum and it appears high, but if the 18ppm shown in the Universal Avg is based on 2300 miles and I have double that mileage on this run, maybe 38ppm isn't something to get concerned about - yet? Assuming the wear is linear. Anyhow, the other metals look okay. The motorcycle does see a lot of 1 hour to 90 minutes rides, but not many shorter than that. It doesn't get babied but I don't flog the snot out of it either.
The report does not note the odometer reading at time of sample, which was 7629 miles.
Important note: Sample captured by dealer tech during 2nd factory recommended service visit which was due @ 7500 mile/12,000km. I had them put in the same oil, MCF 10W40 again. Based on this report I will probably not run it beyond 2500 miles and will switch to a 15W50 or 20W50.
