Default Belray motor oil

I use the gear oil in my tranny and I'm really happy with it. With my next oil change I thought about using their reg oil and primary oil. Anyone using either of these?

Thanks

I've never used it in my Harley, but only because I've used other products out of habit for many years.

I have used Bel-ray products in my two-cycle desert toys. I ran them hard and never had a problem.

I tried bel-rey 80W140 in my transmission last oil change and could not be happier. Neutral is now very easy to find and the shifts are as smooth as silk. Haven't tried the motor oil yet.

There's a local shop here in San Jose that also rents bikes. That all he uses, and swears by the stuff. I used it in my wide glide for years with no troubles.

I have two friends that swear by it. I run Amsoil gear lube in my tranny. It really quieted it down, made shifts smoother and easier to find neutral.

I used the amsoil products for a long time (all three holes) but got tired of trying to find a dealer and the order process. So i switched to belray (all three holes) and am very happy. I went back to regular motor oil and the engine is more quiet, and it quit blowing oil out the air cleaner. Very happy with belray

I've used there products in my 3 & 4 wheelers & ran the "CHIT" out of them with no problems. I'm sure it would work. I run Redline products.

I 've used their engine oil, primary oil as well as tranny oil. Basically, I really like the way the bike runs with the belray stuff....BUT...I stumbled across an oil comparison that tested popular oils for different qualities and surprisingly....the belray stuff came in almost last out of 20 or so products. I pulled my mag plugs and found lots of fuzz on the primary and engine....so I drained the stuff out and used what I normally use which has very little if any mag plug fuzz. In my mind....the fuzz is metal wear consistent with the low ratings on the study. My normal fill is Mobil 1 v-twin 10w40 for the primary, v-twin 20w50 for the tranny. Note that ZV-twin mobil 1 has a different make up than their car oil line.
