Prepare Your Bike for Summer Riding

The complete line of AMSOIL motorcycle products ensures your bike is ready to hit the road. Bikers of all stripes are gearing up for another season of motorcycle rallies and summer road trips. Whether you’re into V-twins or metric bikes, AMSOIL synthetic motorcycle oils are dialed-in to meet the unique demands of your bike. V-Twin Motorcycles Powerful, hot-running V-twins generate intense heat, especially in slow-moving rally or parade traffic. Air-cooled bikes rely on a steady flow of air over the cooling fins to conduct heat away. Stop-and-go driving and periods of idling on hot summer days can quickly cause the engine temperature to skyrocket. If a motorcycle oil cannot withstand hot operating temperatures, its ability to provide adequate engine protection is compromised. In addition, the intense heat and mechanical action inside a motorcycle engine can cause motorcycle oils to lose viscosity, or shear. Bikes that share a sump between the e

Rust & Corrosion Attack Vehicles

Most motor oils only provide minimal protection against damaging engine rust and corrosion. The effects of rust and corrosion are easy to see on the exterior of vehicles and equipment. However, they can also form on the inside of your engine if you’re not using a properly formulated motor oil. The problem is especially problematic in engines used in applications that sit idle for extended periods, including the following. Boats Motorcycles Lawnmowers Classic cars Snowblowers Despite what most people assume, motor oils have no natural ability to protect against rust or corrosion. Instead, special rust and corrosion inhibitors must be added to the formulation to provide the required protection, and some oils simply don’t contain the correct additives in the correct concentration. Idleness equals no protection During engine operation, a layer of oil coats engine parts and the crankcase walls. The lubricant film protects against rust and c

Six Reasons Motorcycles Need Better Lubricant Protection

Six Reasons Motorcycles Need Better Lubricant Protection Why do people spare no expense on their vehicles, and especially accessories after the purchase, then use the cheapest engine oil they can find? Oil plays one of the most important roles in an engine’s performance, yet motorists often give it virtually no thought whatsoever. For bikers it is especially important to choose wisely when selecting a motorcycle oil, because motorcycles put greater demands on their lubricants than autos do. Here are six of the primary differences between the two. 1) Operational Speed.  Motorcycles tend to operate at significantly higher engine speeds. The result is added stress on engine components, increasing the need for wear protection. It also subjects the lubricant to higher load-carrying and shear forces. Higher RPMs also promote foaming and accelerate lube breakdown due to oxidation. 2) Compression Ratios.  Motorcycles tend to operate with higher engine compression ratios than
