Shear stability in a big diesel (even with the turbos) and shear stability in a motorcycle are very different things! It's got a reputation amongst those that pay much more attention to their oil than I do for shearing down relatively quickly despite what the marketing says. Again, no knock against the oil (I used it for a while myself), but it's just something to look out for. Maybe I'll have to do another OCI with it and have it analyzed just to see how well it holds up in our bikes in particular.
