Default Redline Oils
Just bought Redline oil to change in all three holes...V-twin tranny with Shockproof, v-twin primary, and synthetic 20w-50. I was experiencing the infamous noisy valvetrain and clunky shifting. I was running SE synthetic in everthing before...has anyone else seen improvements with redline oil over SE oils??

My tranny stopped clunking so hard. Red-line makes some great stuff.

Mine didn't change much at all from the 4 dollar quart stuff. Instead of changing all three holes for less than 15 bucks, it's tripled in price...
I still like to believe it's better for my scoot though. Haha

I swear by REDLINE. Ran it in all three until I went with a dry clutch. But I still run it in engine and transmission. EXCELLENT product.

I used to run it until I noticed it does not carry any certification number and it does not say it will not impact your warranty...Someone on this site had a tranny failure with chunks of the "suspended" material in the tranny bearings...Not that saying that caused the failure, but not worth the risk IMO. Ride safe.
