Are you certain about it being meant for daily use ??
There's been lots of discussion on the TRIUMPHS list about this very

have less detergent, and thus require frequent changes because contaminants
are NOT held in suspension as with normal motor oils. Particularly with an
LBC that sees relatively little mileage, this would be a bad thing.
