Re: [ST] FYI - OIL

[Dave Bardell <dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,

Thought this sounded like Amsoil, If you click on the last item, it will 
take you to the page that does mention Amsoil.

Since I have no Triumph dealer near to me and no Advance Auto Store 
carries the MX4T Motorcycle oil -- (found one a distance away - but 
price was same as Triumph's price) I became a dealer for Amsoil and am 
using their motorcycle oil and filters.  Had good luck in the past using 
their 2 Cycle premix oil in MX bikes.
