A few years ago, I had my 900 ninja camshafts out a
couple of times -- once with AMSoil 20w50 and once
with Golden Spectro semi-synthetic 20w50...
Holding onto the camshaft with the Amsoil was slippery
beyond expectation. This was with pre-motorcycle
formulations which have more zinc and phophorous these
days.
Been using Amsoil in my cars and bikes since 1985.
Love the way the motors zing_g_g!
