I already drained the oil in my 370 and went to what I thought was my stock of normal 1030 mobile one to find out that I'm all out..

I have this motorcycle oil lying around that I'll never use so what would you do?

won't matter what oil you use if you change it and filter regular and often.

MC oil vs regular motor oil.
I read somewhere, something from a claimed triboligist along the lines of...
motor oils were/are too slippery for bike wet clutches and that's the sole reason MC oils were/are formulated different

a "friction modifiers" thing more or less I guess

you'll be fine with the MC oil.
they only added a little sand to make it less slippery

you might even get more heat too since it's not as slippery

If I had to rob a bank to get it, yes!
Seriously, all this time I thought you drove a yellow Corvette. I thought I had met Justin at the MF in Saint Pete Fl and he drove it there. So this entire time I thought I was talking with Justin. Who was that dude?

they need to make a 2 stroke powered TM so I can put octane booster in, and listen to the scream and smell the fumes
