this bloke is just trying to sell the oil he stocks!
plus he is talking to americans (!) who drag race by my reading (i mean who else is putting nitrous on a zx14?)
the lack of science in the above is brain numbing. where are his facts? where is the research. it sounds very much like 'the mate of a mate saw' or i heard some bloke at the pub reckons'. by the same reasoning my bike has 300 hp, and will get beaten in a drag by a standard s15 sylvia; because a bloke at the pub said so!
lets deal with reality and verifiable facts
opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one and most of them stink!

(excerpy 1 set of clutch plates and 3 fuel pumps)The consistant changing of the coolant every 12,000 ks im sure also plays a part in keeping an engine running for a long time.
Besides its a nine

Are you saying none of our bikes should make it past 50,000km? Phil had 130,000km on his 9 when it was taken out and has over 80,000 on his ZRX. Interesting that you think he does nothing but pussy his bikes. You need to spend some time on the CDT and experience how he pussies them first hand.

you say that like its a bad thing
looks like Mr Faber may know quite a bit more about oils that you may have first thought. Although getting your oil in the post from the US does bestow you with some credibility for oil knowledge I guess its not something that most of us would bother with ?
For my part, Motul 5100 is a perfectly good semi-synthetic oil for almost every road-going 4-cyl jap motor built since the late 80's. I only use mineral oil in the old zeddies, but 50,000km as a benchmark for engine longevity ? Hardly. The motor in the Pearl has done over 1/2 million k's on good old mineral oil without issue. You don't crank up any mileage doing burnouts unfortunately....
Oil threads rank right up there with fuel threads and tyre pressure threads for pure awesome
