Having said that I am no chemist 😁 and common sense tells me that diesel oil may be changing or already changed due to emission standards . Just a guess on my part . But new bikes are now running cats ( I think ) so bike oil may not be as good as it use to be . I am interested to see what others think .

Oil made for diesels, or cars in general, should not be used in motorcycles. Most Japanese motorcycles share the lubrication between the engine and the transmission and the transmission gears subject the oil to shearing forces that engine oils aren’t really designed to combat.
