I just change mine to day mobile 1. 10w40 motorcycle oil, works very well.

 

Started out using HD Synthetic but it shifted way to hard once the engine came up to temperature. Use Red Line oil now, shifts are smoother.

 

I use Amsoil in motor and trans. In my opinion it is a waste of money,unless money is no object, to use it in the primary. We are talking about a chain and clutch. I have been using Walmart SynTech 20-50 oil in the primary. Works fine for me. Kinda like whiskey. It all does what it is supposed to do.

 

I'm running Redline in all 3 holes

 

The bike shifts smoother (like butter), can find Neutral every time.

There is still the clunk going from Neutral to 1st, if you don't wait about 5-10 seconds after pulling in the clutch lever. But if you do wait, there is no clunk at all - I wasn't even sure I had it in 1st gear the first time I did this!

 

I use it and am totally satisfied. My question I can't answer is, why do I still read oil threads????

 

another oil thread i use 1.5 qt,sae 30wt in the primary

 

I put in whatever is cheapest at walmart (10w40 dino). It's a breeze to change it with the oil when its on the lift. so its always fresh and doesn't cost much
