[QUOTE=xcbullet;18390527]Personally the GTX would be a good choice for me but one better would be VR1. This is my next oil based on some ratings I've seen on oil . Amsoil would be great but can't bring myself to spend that much. I like to change every 2,500.[/

Thanks going to look into VR1

I looked in the owners manual and the oil recommended is a Harley 20/50. Then they tell you that you can use a oil for diesel.

I remember back in the day when I had a Shovel, we run 20/50 Castro GTX....today I run Mobil 1 syndicate in all my motors ...

Can someone recommend a oil?

Can I use Mobil 1

Want to take good care of my bike

Thanks in advance for your help

Mystik JT8 15w50 semi syn diesel oil, made by Citgo.
I have used this oil exclusively for at least the last 20,000 plus miles and have done no less then 5 UOAs with excellent results.
If it matters I now have about 27,000 miles on the bike and has never needed a repair.
I use Formula+ in the primary and transmission.
