Don't use the T6 blue jugs with energy efficient stickers on them in Husqvarna's...learned this the hard way.
The blue jug, T6...the question is out there if it was reformulated. Cafe Husky has all kinds of clutch slippage threads on it.Are you sure it was T6 and not T5 in the silver jug?
The T6 conforms to JASO-MA and JASO-MA2 requirements. No friction modifiers.
Well, if there were friction modifiers added, they couldn't claim JASO-MA/2. Weird that it only effects Husky's though. Maybe it's something in the metal composition of their clutch plates. dunno. *Shrug*The blue jug, T6...the question is out there if it was reformulated.

And KTM. Read here:Well, if there were friction modifiers added, they couldn't claim JASO-MA/2. Weird that it only effects Husky's though. Maybe it's something in the metal composition of their clutch plates. dunno. *Shrug*
much happier with the shift feel even 4,000km into a change.
4,000km on a 2L capacity motor? No wonder the oil is breaking down.
"difference between jaso ma and ma2 is that ma2 came about in circa 2006 when bikes started coming with cat's. so the issue is again with the cats that most of us get rid of and not with wet clutch friction.
MA to MA2 entails a reduction in the level of key anti-wear additives in the oil, namely Phosphorus and Zinc. An MA oil will tend to have more Phos/Zinc anti-wear additive by ppm count than an MA2 oil."
Regularly put 5000-6000km per oil change on my old VTX using Rotella T (Dino) and it ran like a top through all 80,000KM or so I put on it in 5 years of ownership, and ran like a top when I handed it off to the next owner. Oil change recommendation is 4000 Miles.
So change it out 2 or 3 times more often than the manual recommends with cheap oil - wouldn't it be more cost effective (and less time consuming) to just use premium oil in the first place ?T4 or T6. 1.9L dry sump. No clutch slip with either. Dump it at 600km.

Oil and chain lube opinions are like *ssholes - everybody's got one...
