Another question i bought the gold bottle HP4 and it has moly, do they make with out moly?, some one told me moly is not good, or were they just full of it? I hope so :-) this stuff is expensive

you are 100% correct ex 80, moly is bad for your 400ex do to it being a dry sump motor, the moly only hurts your engine if the oil is used for a extensive amount of time, like i said i change my oil after every race. it does cost alot to change so often but i want my engine to last long. its usaully every race but sometimes every other. if you want to use a oil without moly if you are using the oil for a longer period of time i would go with the honda gn4 20w-50 and 10w-40 that has no moly in it and works great.
