Default Switched her over to synthetic today!

It runs better....smoother, too.

I ran M1vt in my last bike. Switching this one over, too. I'm using Amsoil this go around in both the crank and primary. Still sticking with Redline for the tranny. With a K&N oil filter it all was damn expensive, though![:@]

I just popped $71.00 for 5 quarts of amsoil and a filter. I used to complain when I spent that on my car but the bike?? Oh well. Just overpriced though. $9.99 qt.

Wow... I get 5 qts of MCV 20W50 AMSOIL and a K&N Oil Filter for around $55.00...

Have been using AMSOIL for most of my vehicles for years now... Has NEVER let me down!! - Noticed a BIG CHANGE on the '07 RG when I changed over...

A neighbor up the road from me has owned numerous harleys. He told me that he only used the regular dino oil and rides the hell out of his bikes. No problems.

Makes me wonder about all the expense we go to.
