I'm a bit confused about motorcycle oil vs conventional motor oil, particularily in 20w-50 which is the recommended weight for my Buell Blast; a few ???'s
1) what makes motorcycle oil 'wet clutch' compatible & do any of the new SN non-motorcycle oils meet this criteria?
2) I have a shared sump for tranny & chaincase...do I definitely need a 'wet clutch' compatible oil?
3) do the new SN rated 20w-50 non-motorcycle oils have enough antiwear additives to use in my engine (since ZDDP has been greatly reduced/eliminated)?
thanks
