        <![CDATA[ Just wanted to pass on some findings of my own regarding the front cylinder lifter noise I&#39;ve read others having. I currently have 25k on my T - using
Amsoil 10w-40 with the Pure1 filter. On our recent trip to Mn the lifter noise was fairly prevalent as we road through towns or stopped for gas or a bite to
eat. Its more an embarassement than a problem - but we all want a nice quiet engine. After we got back home I began a small experiment by draining a small
quantity of oil and then... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Regarding tappet noise.  I had when I first got my bike (used with 17K on it).  I could not figure it out till someone suggested I was low on oil.  I said no
way that I checked regularly etc.   Well, it turns out they were correct. 
<br>
<br>
I was not reading the dipstick correctly ( I was screwing it in to read it) and just for giggles I put in too much once based upon the advice of  a mc mechanic
who said that tappets can get &#39;plugged&#39; and short of taking the engnine apart, you can... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The tappety-tappety noise is a worrisome annoyance that I have, too. The first time I ever noticed it was when I learned that my oil pressure idiot light was
burnt out, and that the oil I had decided to use in the last oil change sucked.
<br>
<br>
Basically, I&#39;d used that crappy oil up, and my crankcase ran so low in such a short time that my oil pump started sucking air - viola, inadequate
lubrication. I think I diverted my ride when I heard the noise directly to the shop where we... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have nothing against Amsoil myself. I&#39;m using it in my GL1800 Wing now along with the Amsoil 15K mile filter and it&#39;s doing great. But, I hear an
occasional gripe about synthetics in general not being the perfect oil for V-twins. Just about all of the complaints were from V-twin owners. Go figure?
<br>
<br>
I was told that the Wing would shift smoother with the Amsoil. Personally, I can&#39;t honestly say that part is any different than Honda&#39;s own dyno oil.
But when I switched... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The Amsoil 10-40 and the Rotella 15-40 are the same viscosity. But you may have different results just from changing brand. Those diesel specific oils tend to
have some good strong detergents in them. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Good points Stan, here I thought I&#39;d found a magical elixer additive and really only increased the viscosity which you get when using a heavier weight oil.
Oh well, it was fun. I&#39;ll be heading for Walmart to get me some Rotella 15-40w..... The Amsoil came from a church friend who runs a new Harley and uses the
stuff in everything he drives..... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think the Amsoil (or any full synthetic for that matter) may be a little too thin for these engines. You are not the 1st that I have heard this from. I think
maybe the STP gave you a heavier weight of oil. Other complaints that I have heard are that the bike started using oil, or leaking oil after using Amsoil,
where as it didn&#39;t before. Switching to Rotella made a similar improvement as the STP did when you used it. The most notable difference was the smoother
shifting with Rotella.... ]]></description>
