That gear lube is formulated for the tranny, I wouldn't put it in the primary.

I don't think is is a very good idea to put gear oil in your primary. I run Mobil Syn 20 -50 in \\;mine.

Do not run it in the primary, you could create a slipping clutch problem.

Mobil 1 VTwin is recommended for wet plate clutches. I'd go with what's recommended.

If you want a heavier oil in the primary try redline mt90. It has no moly in it.

do I think it is a good idea? - no. not unless you like that grinding sound going into !st gear and you want the bike to creep forward at stop lights with the clutch pulled in. (popped my cherry on the new board with this post )
