I just retrieved my Road King from 1K service at the dealer.&nbsp\\; I had them put Harley Syn 3 oil in al three holes.&nbsp\\; I read the threads about the different oils, and I know Syn 3 is not real popular, but I wanted to start off good with the service department, so I let them sell it to me.&nbsp\\; Anyhow, I put on about 175 miles today, and the one thing I noticed is how much eaiser it shifts now.&nbsp\\; Even after a long ride, finding neutral is no longer a challenge.&nbsp\\; Just thought I would pass it along, for whatever it is worth.

 

Finding neutral on any bike I ever rode seems the same to me.&nbsp\\; Sometimes its a challenge sometimes its just falls into place.

 

If the dealer adjusted the primary chain, that could be more responsible for finding neutral than the oil change.

 

Mine felt the same way on my switch to Syn3

 

I use the syn 3 and no problems here.I also used it in my Road King before trading

 

I am using Syn3 and have no complaints in spite of all the negative comments on here about it coming from Citgo and Venezuela. I have spent more time in Venezuela than I have in the Mideast and I like Venezuelan women and their oil.

 

since he just did the 1k, i would assume that he has either an 08 or an 07 (since not specified), there is no primary chain adjustment.

 

Ahhh, to have a new bike!&nbsp\\; Thanks for the update, skratch.&nbsp\\;

If you were that blown away with the syn 3 in the trans, you would pee your pants with excitement if you tried a quality gear lube like redline or spectro.

 

The dealer didn't **** me off with the 1 K service, so I figure I will stick with him and his products at least until the warranty runs out.&nbsp\\; I don't want to argue with anyone about when service was done or who did it.&nbsp\\; After that I may check out some other products.&nbsp\\; Meantime, the Syn 3 will get changed often enough that it should do the job well enough.
