IMHO the Amsoil is a good oil when you have a wet clutch, rated MA, I like Redline oil when you have a dry clutch because of its MB rateing.
I would use the K&N filter or Purepower S/S oil filter over the stock one, as they are better filters. Aloha Alex

Don't forget, Amsoil has a filter for our bikes as well. Been out for quite some time now. EaOM138C.

Hey...I really need to call ya and catch up. I'll try to do that this week.
