   Today's motorcycles use engine oil to lubricate clutches and   
   transmissions, which is why they still change oil on a 3k mile basis...the   
   use of synthetics in motorcycles is another item of contention, since it   
   doesn't do for clutch plates what it does for engine bearings, etc. ...   
   Dunno why, that's just what I'm told by my friend Andrew, who is a   
   motorcycle nut.
