    It will work , but the price will keep me away. For 12$ a quart it gets expensive. I can buy 4 quarts of regular motorcycle oil and a filter a my local shop for 25$.

    8O $12 !? Called Advanced Autoi here in town and the guy told me $8 ...hope he got the price right. I hate driving someplace to get an item you called about and finding it's 50% MORE expensive than what you were told.... :evil:

    I was looking on the net and the best price I could find was 12$ per quart for it. Advance has it listed on their site but no price. 8$ is a little better and I might consider it then.

    I just found it listed on Advance Auto website. Ouch , they have the Max Cycle oil for 15.49. The regular Royal Purple is 9.49.

    When I called Advanced , I asked the guy specifically ,if they had motorcycle oil, he said "the only thing we have here is Royal Purple" So I wonder if they try the ol' bait and switch if I can still get it for $8... I give it a try tomorrow since I have to go right by there, it won't be a trip outta my way :D
