::If you get a chance to eye-ball some Kawachem motor oil, can you check what API grade and/or JASO grade it is? I'm curious if their own oil meets those specs. Yamalube doesn't appear to be JASO certified. --[[User:Pi3832|Pi3832]] 11:57, 13 March 2007 (CDT) | ::If you get a chance to eye-ball some Kawachem motor oil, can you check what API grade and/or JASO grade it is?

:It would be excellent if we could find documents like this for other manufacturers to see if Kawasaki is the exception or if this is standard. One thing I don't know anything about is oil for Harleys. I thought many of them use wet clutches. If this JASO standard is important for all Japanese bikes, then wouldn't it seem odd if Harley wanted their oil to meet a JASO (Japanese standard)? Furthermore not that Harley is the end all be all resource, but it seems like they might have an alternative view on the "Additive" since they aren't a member of JASO (I assume). --[[User:Budlight|Budlight]] 14:37, 13 March 2007 (CDT) | |||
