Track day oil life

[madmike2]

Let me guess......you are an Amsoil dealer also.... Do they include free koolaid in those shipments or something???

No but he is my customer and I pay him copious amounts of beer and cigarettes to tout Amsoil on this board. It really gets me off seeing all the people that get so agitated about Amsoil.

[SIZE=12pt]UNDERLYING ISSUE:[/SIZE]

This page: Capitalism & Bartering> Vendor Offers is where specific discussion about specific brands should be directed. Over the years, on the 3 different FJR websites I've belonged to, this issue continues to raise its head. Other Forum members who have and sell products for the FJR DO make themselves available in the Vendors Section. In discussions in which they have a solution, they will "link" to their Vendor Thread and let the conversation "carry on".

Ignacio, one of the administrators of the FJR Forum earlier posted this polite warning:

Selling on the BoardYou are only allowed to use the forum as a member, not as a commercial vendor. Anything that could be construed as marketing, advertising, or sales related activities without Administrator approval will not be tolerated. Please contact and Administrator in advance if you would like to represent commercial interests on the board.

Any time a member refers to a product he sells by specific brand name it IS a form of advertising. I cannot decide wheter Amsoil dealers are so dense as to not grasp this point, motivated by expanding their business or simply overzealous. Regardless, I think more enemies than customers are made by the continual forceful interjecting of Amsoil as the "be all, cure-all" lubricant.

All one had to do is substitute "a specific synthetic brand that I sell" ONCE, then refer to it by "my synthetic" and that would circumvent the wrath of the admins and the frustrations of the other forum members.

But, as an Amsoil Evangelist, you do what you have to do. If and when you are martyred for your beliefs remember that you brought it on yourself.

Since you ARE NOT an FJR owner, I am curious to know if you are seriously considering buying one? Or did you simply come here to enter into this discussion covertly, as a distributor, and are willfully and purposely circumventing the protections and guidelines placed by the admins of this website.

If I were an admin, your seeming surreptitious act to support one of your dealers would get you both a warning, if not a "time out".

PM sent to admins.

A friend and I bought 04s at about the same time. We both pull the same kind of maintenance. He has 20k on his-I have 80k on mine. He buys his oil at wally world and the little brown truck delivers mine. By his own unsolicited admission my scooter sounds much better than his(less mechanical clatter). Here's the deal. If you want your scooter to sound like a g.d. combine, buy your oil at w.w. or else let the little brown truck deliver it. Try an oil analysis some time.

I ride every day. Don't have a problem with constipation. Riding seems to free me up.

Don't have to wait for Friday to come along for a good dump.

So if I can bring this thread back to the track-day oil change discussion, will someone please tell me what they equate track day oil wear to compared to regular daily driving. For example, would you say that one hour on the track equals 500 miles of regular highway driving?

A good friend of mine who was an engineer for Hewlett Packard crunched the numbers for me and came up with the number of 30 to 1. In other words for every mile you put on the bike at the track it equals to 30 wear miles. This is for the engine only, not the chasis. I hope this answers your question. After racing for 30 years with no bearing failure at all I can personally recommend this ratio.
