oh well..... xx
Tires are easy ... they are made of a more sticky tread which helps keep your ars upright. They also are made to withstand a lot more sidewall force than your car. I’ve a feeling if there was more of a demand for motorcycle parts as there are for car parts, prices would be cheaper as well. If anyone thought bikes were cheap to maintain, they’re surely mistaken. I see it everyday. If you only do maintence every 5000 miles, things will get expensive.

Default Redline power pack w/gasket

I've never used red line and, since i don't use my bike for track days or drag racing, I feel that most oil will be perfectly fine.

Then I remember that the MoCo has an oil change kit. So does Amsoil. So does S&S. Also some company called Maxima that I'm not familiar with. I know the Red Line kit is a complete 3 holer kit while the others are strictly engine oil and filter. I was pretty content with my choice to go with Amsoil until I watched the video and Lemmy is one hell of a salesman.

Without starting a which oil should is best debate, I'd like to hear from people that have bought the kits which one they got and how they like it.

This is something that is new but with still need that extra quart of RL Primary

Crisco for the engine.
KY for the tranny.
Olive oil for the primary.
Cheese cloth for the filter.

Kit seems like a joke to me. Maybe on first bike and in rush to do you research. But its not rocket surgery.

I run redline in tranny so I can see what leaks. I ran until 45k on one bike Syn 3. Not sure if it really matters what you run.
