[QUOTE="SilverStreak, post: 1459805, member: 98086"] I hope this isn't just restating the obvious, but would not use the automotive-type Mobil-1 that isn't JASO MA/MA2 cert for wet clutches. The AE system can really work the clutch over if the rider insists on being lazy with the downshifts and using the perfectly-controlled slippage for takeoffs in the wrong gear. Automotive oil friction modifiers cause m/c wet clutch plates to get more wear from slower lockup. Not all of the old oil comes out during an oil change, so If I had the wrong oil, I'd change it again in short time and put some high-end m/c racing oil or Rotella T6 which is a great cheaper oil if you change in shorter intervals.
