What's the difference between Mobil 1 V-Twin synthetic and Mobil 1 Motorcycle synthetic, besides V-Twin is 20W-50 and Motorcycle is 10W-40?

the weight, i think they do it to try and make more money cause its a different container.

yeah they probably do that, but also the higher the weight is for hotter temperatures and the lower weight is for more cold weather.

exactly right I run the V-Twin  oil in my Harley because it gets hot sittng at a red light. and Heat will break down the oil.
I also Run this in My YFZ450. Amsoil

I sent Mobil an email asking what the difference is.   I will post their reply when I get it.

I have gotten 3 different email responses from Mobil. They keep telling me either oil is suitable for use in my Eiger. They either can't or won't tell me the difference between the 2 other than viscosity. [smiley=banghead.gif]
