Oh they'll still be fine selling bikes, getting money from them moco for warranty work, getting money from the moco for finance referrals, making tons of money off of labeled/branded high priced clothing, etc etc.

I put Amsoil 20-50 in primary and engine and run their gear oil in tranny.

Amsoil gear oil is supposed to last 100,000 miles and I don't think its necessary to change it very often.

Ah Gee. Here goes. Syn 3 or any good syn name brand in all three hole. Dyno , then engine oil in in engine and formula+ in primary and transmission. I personally use syn in engine and formula+ in other two holes. Old school thought is you do not need the super slick wear additives on clutch in primary and not quite thick enough for transmission(lubricates but makes the bump into low when the dogs clack together sound louder) I been working on this stuff for 45 years and it does not really seem to matter. Something ususally breaks or starts leaking long before it wears out. Sort of like a lawnmower. One think you really do not want to do is put too thick in transmission to get rid of bump. Bump(clack) does not hurt anything and there is some very small roller bearings that thick will not flush properly. I use the following lubes in my big harley. And one more free thing. Be sure you understand level in primary. Just to level were it touches OD of clutch or disk spring.
