Just wondering if any of you guys or gals have dropped redline oil out of your tranny and replaced it with another brand ?? If I decide to do this will I have to flush the tranny out or will the small amount left behind mix ok with other synthetic or mineral oils ?? I am assuming it will be ok but just checking.

 

I drained out Red-Line Heavy Shockproof last October and replaced it with Rev-Tech 80W-90....Trans is doing fine! The Red-Line was too thick for Winter-time...

With all due respect, the Rev-Tech 80W-90 has less bronze particles in it when it is drained out...I change the trans fluid every 800-1,000-miles...Changing fluid often is cheaper than pulling the trans and changing gears/shafts/forks!!!!

 

The manual says to change it every 32,000km. I thought I was being excessive changing it at 10,000km intervals.

 

Mixing will be just fine, dino or synthetic.

 

I hope you meant 8,000 - 10,000 miles. If I changed mine every 800 - 1,000 miles, I'd be changing it about every 4 - 6 weeks or even less in summer time.

 

You need to spend more time riding. That would be a change about every 3 weeks for me.

 

really? that would be like changing it every month! the spec is to change it every 20k, so that is some serious overkill.

 

At this rate do you change your motor oil every 250 miles?? manual = 5k
that to me would be more important than changing the tranny at 1k
