[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1411389, member: 13598"] I've been called ridiculous b/c of this but I don't care: I know different bikes like different oils, that's just the way it is. My '07 hates Rotella. Always has. Grabs and jerks horribly. When folks started saying I needed to add STP to my oil I knew they were full of it. Mine's not an AE but it is prone to grabbing (Rotella & Castrol) and slipping (Mobil1). I have found also that [B]for me[/B] viscosity/weight change does little to help or harm. So maybe just a different brand of oil? Although air in a line/master cylinder problem certainly could mimic the symptoms. [/QUOTE]
