Question for you Mobile 1 users. I remember seeing Mobil 1 for 4 strokes a long time ago when I had my Suzuki dr250. Last time I went to that part store they only had Mobile 1 for aircooled Harleys. Think there is any difference in the two and would it hurt the Kawi running the harley oil in the bike. I figured if its goood enough to run in a 20k harley in should be good enough to run in my little kawi.

The Big Twin has a dry clutch correct? The Kawi has a wet clutch. I personally would not use an oil made for a HD Big Twin in the wet clutch KLX.

Isn't it amazing! Technology has enabled motoroil to tell the difference between an air cooled and a water cooled engine!

Mmmmm, not sure about the big twin cause I dont own one But I believe my sporty is a wet clutch. I installed Amsoil 20w50 in Both the engine crankcase And Tranny at 1200 miles. Bike is now pushing 4000 miles and I have never had any issues with the oil or shifting. Shifts real smooth. I'm pretty sure that the big twin is a wet clutch too as there tranny also uses fluids.
