Default Bel-Ray oil?

Hey guys, I just did the fluids in the bike and went with Bel-Ray oil. Wondering if any of you guys have tried it. My indy recommended it, and it was no more expensive then the other brands so I thought I'd give it a try. It's my first time away from Harley oils so if it works, I'll stick with it. Also went for the K&N chrome oil filter.

Heard good things about Bel Ray, but truth be told it's hard to find a bad oil these days, especially m/c specific ones. It is, however, much easier to find overpriced ones...

Bel-Ray makes high quality lubricants. I am running the 85w140 gear saver in my trans now. Runs fine.

Last time my tranny fluid was changed Bel Ray 85W140 was put in. It is fine once the bike warms up or in warm weather but when ridden in cold weather it shifts really hard.

Good stuff, it's all I've ever used in my dirt bikes or Harley.
