synthetic oils

I use synthetic in my cars for the cold starting ability. I tried syn in my bikes, couldn't detect the difference, and switched back. The biks don't need cold starting ability. Jim C. '01 LC1500 A13

moly in da oil

In a message dated 6/23/2006 8:07:20 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, sobiloff@... writes: "Mythology. I use Red Line oil, which has a very high amount of moly, in my KLR and have zero clutch issues. I have never met a single person who's been able to prove it was moly in the oil causing clutch slip. Moly may allow a weak, worn-out clutch to more noticeably slip, but that's a clutch problem, not a moly problem." Also Honda sold their motorcycle oil with moly for many years. Obviously they didn't think it was bad for motorcycles. Kurt [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Try starting it in 10 degree F. It does make a difference.
