[QUOTE="Ishkatan, post: 1460075, member: 99354"] I'm going to have to check on the JASO MA/MA2 rating, if I can find the bottle or my order. However, I've been using this for a couple years now. Prior to that I used the Rotella 5 Diesel oil and while that worked I did feel a little more slip. The bike has 32,000 miles on it now and seems a bit smoother than during the first 20,000 miles. :) I thought I read someplace that typical clutch life is 36,000 miles. I am surprised mine still works since I tend to do a lot of engine braking. I really don't push the bike hard but I am really bad at synching the engine speed and gears. I'm one of those people that would buy an automatic, though I don't have problems working the clutch on my 1993 Goldwing (which I don't ride much). BTW, the AE system is impressive. When I first got the bike I forgot to downshift coming to a stop, then had to accelerate fast. I took me from 0 to 60 all in 5th gear. No, I did not repeat the feat... [/QUOTE]
