Anybody using AMSOIL any pros or cons?
Just thinking about changing over to AMSOIL full senthetic, in both engine and tranny, wondering if any body has any info about using, service intervals using it or problems with it. Thanks any info helpful!

There have been LOTS of discussions on oil here. Lock yourself in the basement for a few weeks, search oil and read till your eyeballs dry out. Trouble is you will probably be more confused than you are now  It is pretty much a preference I think.

Me Too... Too. Now, I can't seem to get my oil temp above 175* even on 105* degree days, in traffic. I'd say is definitely lubricating.
Not sure what thats going to do to the interval, seeing as it's not getting hot enough to boil away the moisture. Time will tell.

I'll be changing to Amsoil MCV 20/50 this afternoon once I warm the bike up. Definite research here, it DOES cool better. Just go ahead and do it!
