Doesn't get it...... When all these long time Evo riders, AKA (old Farts) say they won't use Syn..... You still post "OOOOh, a Sale" But I should've seen that coming from a "Miller Highlife Man.." Crap in the gut and Crap in the gut......

 

Why shet on him for simply trying to help save some bucks, he never said you had to buy or use it in your bike.

If it was VR1 for 3 bucks, then you'd want to blow him and drink his beer.

 

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!

 

 

A little ball busting never hurt anyone unless your a physco...
Actually I do drink Miller high life at times but I use Pennzoil and I'm not a hypocrite....

 

hey not all of us grew up on harleys but that doesn't mean we can't wrench. It just might mean we need some advice or have some questions on them considering they're a little different from the smallblock chevy's i grew up wrenching.

I did read the manual, for my 95 softail it says use HD part # xyz12789343 or some damn thing, seein as how my local dealer is likes to quote me prices higher than msrp on parts I try really hard to refuse to deal with him and it's tough to find hd oil at my auto parts store.

Just so I'm clear here my choices for the primary are: type F atf the same 20-50 weight dino oil I put in the motor, hd's brand or ????

Thanks guys I've been stalling on this cuz I didn't know what to use but I wanna get er done this week

 

I have another thread going specifically on primary and trans. Consensus was to use either HD trans/primary fluid or any decent ATF auto trans fluid. Do NOT use TypeF ATF fluid in primary. 80w-90 gear oil in transmission and 20w-50 in motor. Valvoline was the majority brand of choice. Good luck!

 

Nothing wrong with type F... Its only going to give you a more aggressive grab on the clutch... Try it and see if you like it, if not, go with dexron.

Said it once, I'll say it again.

Valvoline VR1 50w in summer, 20w-50 VR1 in the winter.
Valvoline 80w-90 hypoid in trans year around.
Shell Rotella T or type F ATF in primary depending on how I feel.

With a properly adjusted clutch she snicks right into neutral with no fuss on this set up.

 

Vr1 50w engine
10w/40 motorcycle Dino oil on primary
Redline gear oil for trans
