Directly from the Mobil 1 website, I dunno what your looking at, but this oil is made specifically for motorcycles/atvs.

Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40
Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 is recommended for four-cycle motorcycles which specify the use of a 10W-40 engine oil. It provides excellent performance in motorcycle engines that are designed with a common engine/transmission lubrication system or where the engine lubrication system is separate from the transmission system. In the case of the latter, follow the manufacturer's recommendation for the type of fluid to be used in the transmission. Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 engine oil is also designed to provide the proper frictional characteristics necessary for wet-clutch engine/transmission systems. Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 exceeds the requirements of API Service Categories SH, SG/CF, CD, JASO MA and has been fully tested, both on laboratory dynamometers and in the field, to provide optimum horsepower and acceleration.

Fully synthetic Mobil 1 motorcycle oils are specifically engineered for use in motorcycles. The formulations are based on the proven technology used in other Mobil 1 automotive products, yet they are optimized for the unique requirements of a motorcycle engine and/or transmission. You can use them with confidence, knowing they will protect your bike in extreme situations where conventional motor oils simply cannot compare, including extended high-speed operation and prolonged idling in summertime traffic.

Hey that's great to hear! How old is the Raptor? Any oil consumption/leaking problems or any other problems since putting it in?

I just purchased 3 quarts of this Mobil 1 motorcycle racing oil at my local Advance Auto Parts. It was on sale for $7.99 a quart, and I had a $10 off $25 purchase coupon, so I just added some anti-seize lube to my total to get it to $25. It makes it about $5 a quart for this stuff which is really good for 4 stroke fully synthetic motor oil. Cheapest other 4 stroke oil for me is Autozone and their Valvoline dino which is only a $1 cheaper per quart. Yamalube by me is ridiculous marked up at the dealerships, $8-9 a quart, and ordering oil gets expensive once you factor in shipping. For me this was a no-brainer, I just hope it performs well in the Warrior.

For anyone interested in the coupon at Advance Auto Parts. It says for Grand Opening Stores Only, but the guy at my store took it with no problem, so I guess YMMV.
