STANDARDS JASOT903MA Different technical development directions required a separate specification for motorcycles - the JASO T903 MA standard. Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, the focus for motorcycle engines is on high performance at high engine speeds.
