First oil analysis on my Burg...~18,000 miles on the bike, about 2600 on the oil. Oil was Maxima 10W-40 MC (JASO MA2) oil.
First: Blackstone's comments...

This a fine first look at your Burgman scooter. Universal averages show typical wear results for this
type of Suzuki motor with oil run ~2,200 miles. Using those as a reference, you've got metals reading either
at the same level or lower, and that shows internal parts that are getting along well together. The only
(minor) issue here is a low viscosity, but that's not uncommon for engines like these and it clearly hasn't
caused any trouble, so no worries there. No fuel or coolant was detected and insolubles (solid material)
measured at just a trace. Nice report!
I might switch to 15W-40 in the future, due to shearing.
