I looked at buying a logger at one point and talked with some of the big players but they didn't offer what I wanted.  Many of the loggers back then would do 1 sampler / second!! Better ones, 0.1 second.  I was asked by one of the big players, why would I need anything faster.   It's like they had no clue how much things were changing in that first second, especially with the clutch.   So, some FPGA and software...   Nowdays, one PIC. 

You like turbos and 2-steps.  Here is some very old data showing one of my old Rajay turbo chargers spooling up compared with my custom made Comp Turbo with triplex ceramic bearings.   Note at 0 seconds, the bike is making 12 PSI of boost with the old Rajay and within 0.2 seconds its making over 18.     The Comp Turbo may seem worse but once I spanked the monkey, she comes up quick.   Too much and the tire spins.....  How do you know?  It's all in the data.....

One wonders about their pedigree in this game.  ;D

Are you using a slider clutch variation on your bike Joe ?
Ground_Loop:
I have 17 internal combustion engines at my house: diesel, two stroke, 4-mix, 4 stroke.  The rule of thumb for all engines is: oil shouldn’t be in the engine long enough to matter.  Having said that, some of those are very high performance engines that get the recommended oil at better than recommended intervals. But plain 10-30 or even straight weight 30 is more than adequate for a mower.

On my 40 year old bike, I am using a multi-stage lockup with a billet basket and straight cut gear.    I am a one man band, so no crew to start the bike or tow it.   I knew a guy who made a slider where he could change the stall with a switch.  Pretty good idea. 
John B:
So I think the answer to what oil is best for a lawnmower is 1ms polling rate EGT sensors, closed loop wideband AFR correction and FPGA implemented DSP windowed knock detection and fuel film model transient throttle fuel delivery.
