I sent a sample of my used oil to Blackstone labs for analysis. Here's what came back -
Amsoil 10W-40(MCF) in a 2003 Husaberg FE400. Drained the oil after 6 hours and 51 miles on the oil. The bike at sample had around 45 hours and 600 miles.

COMMENTS BY BLACKSTONE:
This is the first sample we have seen from this type of engine, so we created a new average file for it and will start building averages with this sample. Wear levels are low and properly balanced, so we think your engine is wearing well at this point. We did find some fuel dilution, which is common in racing bikes, due to the type of operation they see. We would normally consider 2.5% fuel to be a possible issue, but since we're not familiar with this engine we'll see what the next sample brings. The TBN read 11.6, still lots of active additive left.
The oil held up well but the thing that has me puzzled is the percentage of fuel in the oil... It's probably due to very RICH jetting and the fact that I spent more time on my A$$ then the bike and flooded the bike once or four times!!!! I haven't messed with my carb at all up to this point, looks like I need to...
