At what intervals do you change the engine, primary, and transmission fluids? Conversation with Red Line told me every 10000-12000 miles! Wow!

i dont think oil is that expensive, and its not that hard to change. May be it will last that long but I dont want to try it in a air cooled engine.

Agree, just couldn't believe what Red Line said. They also recommend Hastings oil filters which are hard to find.

At what mileage do you change the shockproof in the tranny.

Was using Amsoil 75/90 and going 10000 mi. with no metal particles on the magnetic drain plug, and recently switched to Redline.

I'm using the redline so I can change 2 times a year which for me is 5-7000 miles only. But, I want to change it and just check it & forget it. The redline tech told me that you could go 20-25000 on the shockproof heavy in any HD transmission. But, I'll never go past 5,000 miles with any oil under any circumstance.

Well, as clean as the Amsoil looked after 10000, I do believe I will run the pepto bismol for 10000 also.

The transmission probably wouldnt be so bad to change at that mileage because you dont have to deal with combustion byproducts.

Whatever the recommended fluid change is, I cut it in half or more!

I just changed to redline last night. I believe my bike has more power. It seems to be quieter and run alot cooler too. I was running harley 360 and kinda nervous cause I pulled the drain plug and it had quite a bit of debris on the magnet. Its only been about 1200 miles since I changed it.
