Default RE: What TRANS oil do you use?

I just got done changing out the Syn3 in my trans for Redline Shock Proof Heavy...........I already voted Syn3 so maybe a Mod can change it.
Either way, I thought I'd give it a try from all the advice here on the forums.

I'll be doing a couple hundred miles tomorrow so we'll see how well it shifts, etc.

The bike has about 2600 miles on it right now. I had the Stealership do the 1000 service right at 1000 miles. When I was removing the trans drain plug, I found that it wasn't even tightened!!!!! AND, the 0-ring was shredded and split, and the tech put a bunch of liquid pipe dope on the threads. WOW! I'm so glad I had a falling out with Van Nuys HD about trying to get 10% off on a seat. My bike is only 2 months old and when I asked the parts manager if I could get 10% off on the new seat he told me no way, never gonna happen, etc.

I'm not surprized, I guess, to find the drain plug so hacked in there. I guess everything is hacked over there........

I'm a heavy equipment tech by trade and had the correct size o-ring on my service truck. Will never have that dealer touch my bike again. I'll be doing all of my own service work and I'll go to the great guys over at Glendale HD for any warranty issues.

Odd how an oil change post became a dealer thrashing.
