2006 xb9r. I use whatever motorcycle 20-50 is on the shelf at my local auto parts store. If none in stock and I mailorder, I go with Royal Purple.. Not part of the poll but I always use Wix filters

This was the first oil change since I bought my bike and I tried Lucas since it was the only v-twin oil we had at the time (where I work... we now have Mobil 1 also). It seems the fan hardly ever comes on now. Could be my imagination?

I also like the Rotella. I use it in my Hemi Ram truck. T6 synthetic at an affordable price.

McDonalds use to sell wraps, not my thing though,"they don't really work, lol"! Sounds as if someone wanted to spark something or maybe just a little butt hurt?

Definitely no butt hurt. I just never understood the hype. Avon pyramids aren't my thing. Don't worry- I have no reason to sweat getting any **** thrown back my way. We can move on.

This is just a poll which shows what oil Buell owners use the most. Do not let your bias interpret the data.

No bias- just mindblown by what Buell folk use.

I guess he has stock in another oil or something.

I think the real kicker is that only 3 ppl have poled as using the oil that came in the bike!! (me included) Possibly not wanting to give our friends at harley more $?

I thought the XB's came with non-synthetic Harley oil as the standard fill.

I was just at my HD dealer over the weekend and they recommended the Syn3 over Amsoil...My wife buys me a gift card every year for Xmas and I just buy oil for my big bikes (non-syn), Any pros or cons on using Syn3 over Amsoil in my Buell, I'm using Amsoil in both holes now.

I did an oil change at my Harley dealer once, but I bought Amsoil with me for the mechanic to fill it with. When I took out the Amsoil, the guy at the service desk flashed me a look of pure disgust and said, "That is the worst oil for your bike." I didn't say anything, they filled it with the Amsoil. Ever since I have been doing my own oil changes.

I doubt there's any substantial reasons one is better or worse than the other. I'm surprised you don't run syn. In the big bikes, my dad has in his heritage since new.

I like the label !

Motul is a great oil.

I use 7100.
5100 is also good!

300V is quite expensive, and i think not so much better than 7100. But 300V is the best oil you can buy.
