I'm one that likes to play around and find the oils that "give ME the warm fuzzies"
SOOOOOOOOOO
Engine gets a 50/50 mix of Amsoil 60 Valvoline Racing 50 dino and a bottle of STP oil treatment

Primary gets 50/50 mix of Amsoil 60 and Royal Purple 20/50 Max Cycle

Trans gets a 50/50 mix of Redline HSP and Formula +

Then once a month a little fuel injection cleaner in the tank

Why? Because that's the mixture that I came up with that I liked the best.... for ME

 

Brad Penn 20/50 partial syn in engine
Brad Penn 75/140 full syn gear oil in trans
Brad Penn 20/50 motorcycle dino in primary

 

You've GOT to be kidding. You actually posted another pointless oil thread that includes an even more pointless poll?
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

 

engine=amsoil 60 race trans=amsoil severe gear 75/110 prime=amsoil20/50

 

And YOU posted in it!

Motul 7100 in the Engine and Primary, whatever gear 80w Gear oil is on sale in the transmission (currently Silkolene V-Twin).

 

Exactly what I do.

But your question was on the good and bad of doing it one way or the other. My friend runs three holes the same with the thought of being on the road he only has to carry one jug of oil in case of emergency. Funny because after thousands of touring miles with this guy I have only seen him once add any fluids to his bike (they are always new).

My thought is that a tranny needs gear oil, it's what it is made for. Plus in my experience it runs quieter and shifts better. Especially with the Redline.

 

Well there you have it..should be as clear as mud huhh

 

I like that severe gear in the trans, shifts way better.

 

Syn 3 in the engine, Formula Plus in the trans & primary.

 

Ditto!
