PRODUCT BENEFITS

AMSOIL Metric motorcycle oil is a high-quality synthetic lubricant engineered to provide exceptional protection and performance for metric motorcycles, or known in the bike world as metric bobbers! Its advanced formulation delivers numerous benefits to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable riding experience:

​

  1. Superior Wear Protection: This oil's robust anti-wear additives shield critical engine components from wear, extending the life of your motorcycle's engine and maximizing its potential.

  5. Extended Drain Intervals: This product is a long-lasting formulation that allows for extended drain intervals, reducing maintenance costs and time spent on oil changes.

​

Expanding on the above points, this Metric motorcycle oil is a premium choice for motorcycle bagger enthusiasts and owners, particularly those who ride Ducati, BMW, KTM, Yamaha, Triumph, Royal Enfield, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Can-Am motorcycles, amongst others. This synthetic oil offers superior benefits in terms of engine cleanliness, reducing wear and friction, promoting consistent shifting, and extending clutch life. Additionally, it possesses anti-foaming properties and excels in maintaining its viscosity even under extreme conditions.

​

One of the standout features of this synthetic engine oil for metric cruisers is its capacity to ensure superior engine cleanliness. Its synthetic blend and a carefully chosen set of additives provide exceptional protection against deposit formation. Deposits, or sludge, can compromise engine performance over time by clogging oil passages and creating unnecessary friction. This oil's advanced detergents work to keep these harmful deposits at bay, leading to a cleaner, more efficient engine. This is especially important with bikes from WWII era and the older British motorcycle!

This synthetic engine oil also shines in reducing wear and friction. It is meticulously engineered to provide a film of lubrication between moving parts, thereby reducing friction and wear, which can lead to significant mechanical damage over time. The oil’s excellent film strength ensures that the engine components are well coated and protected even under severe operating conditions, contributing to the longevity and performance of the motorcycle engine.

​

One of the more unique aspects of this synthetic oil is its ability to promote consistent, smooth shifting. This is critical for riders who rely on the precision and responsiveness of their motorcycles. The synthetic formulation provides excellent lubricity, ensuring smooth gear shifts and reducing the chance of missed shifts. Additionally, the oil helps prolong clutch life by reducing slippage and delivering maximum power transfer.

​

Motorcycle oils need to resist foaming, which can compromise their lubricating properties and lead to accelerated wear. This premium synthetic motor oil for metric bikes, contain anti-foam additives that mitigate the aeration and foaming often caused by high-speed operation. Furthermore, this oil's synthetic composition allows it to maintain its viscosity across a broad temperature range. Oil viscosity is vital in ensuring adequate lubrication at all operating temperatures, and this oil’s ability to resist thinning at high temperatures and thickening at low temperatures sets it apart.

​

When compared to other motorcycle oils on the market, this company's oil often stands above the competition due to the reasons discussed above. In contrast, some conventional oils may fail to provide the same level of engine cleanliness, leading to quicker deposit build-up and reduced engine efficiency. They may also fall short in providing adequate wear protection, resulting in increased engine wear over time.

​

Many conventional and synthetic oils struggle to provide consistent smooth shifting, which is integral to riding performance. Conversely, this oil's exceptional lubricity ensures smooth gear shifts every time. Furthermore, while some oils lack the additives necessary to prevent foaming and maintain oil viscosity under varying temperatures, this motorcycle oil shines in these areas.

​

The many benefits of this synthetic motor oil have earned it a place in the hearts of metric chopper riders worldwide. This product's popularity is not limited to one brand or type of motorcycle, as it is embraced by a vast array of riders across different brands like Ducati, BMW, KTM, Yamaha, Triumph, Royal Enfield, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Can-Am and British bikes, among others. Riders often comment on the noticeable improvements in performance, longevity, and maintenance intervals when using this premium synthetic oil.

 

The comprehensive benefits are evidence of this company's commitment to quality and performance. This oil doesn't just meet industry standards; it seeks to exceed them, providing exceptional care for motorcycles and confidence for their owners. Whether the ride takes you on a high-speed adventure, a cross-country journey, or a quick city commute, this excellent synthetic oil ensures reliable, top-notch performance for the ride of a lifetime. If you understand motorcycle metrics, you will understand why having a premium synthetic oil is extremely important!

​

By choosing this oil, riders can enjoy the confidence of knowing their motorcycle is protected by a lubricant designed specifically for the unique needs of metric motorcycles. Its advanced formulation delivers superior protection, performance, and reliability, ensuring your motorcycle performs at its best, whether on the road or the track.

AMSOIL SUPPORTS METRIC BIKE CULTURE

The love for metric motorcycles spans globally, a mutual appreciation for the engineering, craftsmanship, and sheer exhilaration these machines offer. Born out of countries such as Japan, Germany, and Italy, where the metric system is standard, motorcycles from renowned brands such as Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, BMW, and Ducati have each carved out a distinct space within this culture. We can't forget the English motorcycle culture as well with owners globally.

​

This fervor for metric bobbers forms a social community that extends from local gatherings to international events, online forums, and bustling motorcycle clubs which include British motorcycle clubs amongst numerous others! These communities act as an ecosystem, fostering connections between like-minded individuals who share a passion for these two-wheeled marvels.

 

Motorcycle clubs and online forums often brim with enthusiastic discussions about ideal gear ratios, tuning strategies, and performance tweaks. The shared knowledge strengthens not just the individual rider's understanding and experience but also helps in shaping the vibrant, tightly-knit fabric of this motorcycle community.

​

A significant part of this culture gravitates around competitive racing, a dynamic, adrenaline-fueled realm where the mettle of these motorcycles is tested. Events like MotoGP, the Isle of Man TT, or the World Superbike Championship showcase the raw power, nimble handling, and resilience of these bikes. Racers and spectators alike get to witness the cutting-edge advancements in motorcycle technology, pushing boundaries of speed, safety, and performance. See this article of Jeff Seehorn who AMSOIL supports in his racing endeavours.

However, the culture isn't solely dominated by speed and competition. A large portion of it is also rooted in the joy of exploration and adventure that comes with regional tours and long-haul road trips. Whether cruising through the breathtaking Alpine routes of Europe, experiencing the vast, open roads of the American West, or winding through scenic mountain trails in Japan, these tours are a testament to the thrill of discovery on two wheels. See this video about an AMSOIL employee and his father traveling on a long haul journey!

These long-haul journeys also provide an opportunity for riders to truly connect with their motorcycles. Each hour spent riding brings a deeper understanding of the bike's capabilities, its nuances, and idiosyncrasies. Over time, the motorcycle almost takes on a persona, becoming a trusted partner in the rider's grand adventure.

​

This is where the importance of maintenance and high-quality products like this oil comes in. On long journeys and high-performance rides, the motorcycle engine is subjected to intense pressure and heat. This oil, with its premium synthetic formulation, provides superior protection and performance under these demanding conditions.

PHIL STEINER AND HIS 700,000 MILE BIKE

The city of Lima in northwest Ohio is the proud hometown of Phil Steiner. His journey in the automotive world commenced at the Ford Motor Company, where he held various positions across several departments such as machining, production, and cleaning, over a span of 44 years.

​

Steiner has a deep-seated love for automobiles, which is exemplified by his possession of vintage treasures such as a 1957 Chevy, a 1959 Corvette, and a Lincoln Towncar. However, Steiner's automotive affections aren't limited to four wheels; he exhibits a profound passion for Honda Gold Wings. His garage's pride and joy is a 2015 GL 1800, flaunting an impressive nearly 704,000 miles on the odometer. Additionally, his collection also includes a 2002 model with an almost equally impressive 554,000 miles. Remarkably, both motorcycles retain their original engines, thanks largely to metric motorcycle oil, negating the need for any engine work.

​

Steiner's passion for motorcycles was sparked in 1962 with a 1947 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, which he bought for $200. He soon upgraded to a 1960 CH Sportster, riding it an approximate 2,000 miles roundtrip to the Daytona Bike Week in Florida for four consecutive years.

​

This penchant for motorcycles led to Steiner owning a series of motorcycles, eventually falling in love with the Honda Gold Wing in 1975. His first Gold Wing was a preowned 1975 model with just 300 miles on it. He quickly accumulated miles on every subsequent Gold Wing he purchased, notably hitting nearly 270,000 miles on his 1991 model. Today, he estimates that he has traversed about 2 million miles on Gold Wings.

​

Steiner's dedication to maintaining his motorcycles is almost as impressive as the miles he has logged on them. He noted that he doesn't push his bikes too hard, contributing to their longevity. For example, the 2015 model uses only a quarter of a quart of oil every 400 miles, a rate that Steiner acknowledges should be higher given the bike's substantial mileage.

​

While Steiner has curtailed his overnight road trips, he still enjoys long-distance rides. A favorite destination is the Moonshine Store near Martinsville, Illinois, known for its Moonshine Burger. After 2 million miles traversing the nation on Gold Wings, there are only a handful of states he hasn't visited. He has a special fondness for Florida, having attended the Daytona Bike Week annually for 40 consecutive years from 1964 to 2004, even braving temperatures as low as -8°F one year.

​

On the topic of AMSOIL products, which have been an integral part of his motorcycle maintenance, Steiner is effusive in his praise. His aspirations are to clock a million miles on his 2015 Gold Wing, a goal he intends to achieve by maintaining his physical health and religiously using AMSOIL.
