Is it really? Even the XPR? My brother saw one of those lubrication tester thingies in action. It was the one where you pour oil on the spinning metal wheel and try to stop it with a lever arm. He said he couldn't stop the RP.

We call those a "One Armed Bandit" for a reason.... It is actually a spin-off of a Falex Bearing Tester which is a gear lube test, except in the real tests, a human hand cannot be involved.

Did you ever notice that Royal Purple never tells you who the tested against ? Instead they use things such as "Brand A" or "Brand X"...

Take a look at how RP Gear lube faired... www.bestoil4you.com/files/g2457GearLube.pdf

Search in "Street Bikes" on my site and see how their M/C oil faired as well...

Wow, you are getting ripped. I pay about $3 for an oil filter from the dealer.

If you're paying $12 for an OEM filter with the washer, you're getting jacked. I'd suggest you alk to RussellM at MitsubishiParts.net next time you want to pick up some filters.
