Important Motorcycle Oil Considerations

Conventional oil companies for a long time have treated the lubrication needs of motorcycle engines no differently than that of regular two or four stroke engines. Unfortunately this has meant sub par lubrication for motorcycles for some time, simply because motorcycle engines are indeed much different than four or two stroke engines in other applications. Luckily, in May of 2009, Amsoil concluded one of the most in depth studies of motorcycle oils ever done and made several important realizations.

For starters, let's look at some of the key differences that motorcycle engines posses when compared to other engines.

Operational RPM's:

Motorcycle engines consistently run much faster than conventional engines. When an engine is running at higher RPM's there are many significant issues that occur. Oil foaming is more common, engine wear is increased and the oil is exposed to higher shear forces. Take for example a high performance Motorcycle such as a Honda CBR or a Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14, these motorcycles will produce anywhere from 9,500 to 11,000 RPM's at peak horsepower, significantly more than most automobile engines.

Horsepower:

Motorcycles in general have a much higher horsepower to cubic inch ratio, resulting in higher engine temperatures and added stress.

Variation in Operating Temperature:

Automobiles have benefited from consistent, liquid cooling technology for some time. While motorcycles often have some type of liquid cooling as well, they many times also use a hybrid system that combines liquid and air cooling or some other method. Ultimately this results in greater fluctuations in engine temperature thus putting added stress on not only the engine, but the lubrication as well.

Combined Lubrication Needs

Lubricating motorcycles can be a challenge because in many models there is a reservoir that lubricates both the engine and the transmission, meaning they are both lubricated from the same oil. Ultimately this means that while one oil might be optimum for the engine, it could be less than ideal for the transmission or vice versa.

As you can see, the operating conditions of motorcycle engines are much different than most automobile engines. The bottom line is that they run faster, have more demanding lubrications needs and also many times have to satisfy the needs of multiple systems with one type of oil. The need for a specialized, designable oil is quite apparent. The bottom line is that Amsoil has designed a series of top quality synthetic motorcycle oils that provide amazing protection and give your bike the kind of protection it needs.
