Re:Oil Change---Quiter Engine 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
Yakman .just read the oil test rpt and it will make it a lost easier to make a decision on what oil you want to run netx time arround.

The test result data is compiled in such a way in laymen terms its very easy to undertstand & only takes a few mins to read.

But if you dont want to bother reading it go with the mobile 1 v-twin 20-50 oil and forget about it .

Just a side note,i see your running stock ex pipes so you have to also realize the R* motor is old school and is a little noisy by design. The motor will sound quieter when when 1st fired up cold or when not pushing it crusing at slower speeds like 50-55mph out in the country vs if your pushing it @ interstate speeds or 70-75mph in 80-90deg + HHH heat.

My 06 R* had only 4,700 miles on it when i got it 10/2009 so the motor hasn'thad much wear yet and even with the mobile 1 v-twin oil it the motor does make a little more noise when i push it 70-70mph on the interstate in 80-90 deg HHH summer heat vs puting arround all afternoon in the country at 50-55 mph and with your quieter ex you will hear more changes in engine noise when the motor gets hotter changing internal clearances a bit which can make for some more engine noise,its the nature of the beast your riding.
