Not an Amsoil dude (running HD Formula+ in primary), but this is really a pretty kick *** gear oil test:

Amsoil 1st, Lucas last.

+1 - Lucas Gear Oil is NOT safe for use in the Sporty. I'd dump it ASAP.

In response to your post...I use it in my engine and primary, and redline heavy shockproof in tranny with great results... however, I'm inclined to conclude that ingesting premium synthetic oil would almost certainly CAUSE me to have an "imperfect ****"

Just wanted to throw this in here for others that are on the fence.
I did my 1000 mile service this weekend and used Mobil 1 V-Twin 20w50 for both the engine and primary, and here is what I've noticed:
Smoother shifting (both up and down)
Neutral to first "clunk" is a bit reduced
Clunk from an imperfect **** is reduced
Engine runs 8-12 degrees cooler for the same speed, gear, fuel, and ambient temps versus HD dino oil
Clockwork sound of the engine (sewing machine sound) is slightly increased
Not wanting to start another big oil thread, just reporting that on my particular bike, at the 1000 mile mark I'm very pleased with this oil.
In 3000 miles I'll change it out, get a Blackstone analysis done, and post the detailed analysis here as a followup.

i was using mobile 20/50 in both holes, but just installed a energy one clutch which recommends formula + HD petroleum based, non-syn-thetic, primary oil, as light weight as possible, or even a good petroleum based motor oil such as 10/40 or 20/50
in weight. You can even use ATF Type F or B&M Trickshift, just not sure what is the best over all option, as far as what i can find at a auto zone/ walmart/dealer

or at least you used to be able to....
If you want the TrickShift, you'll probably have to order it from Summit
or Jeggs.
