A guy I work with has a 2007 RK with over 100K miles on it. He's not mechanically inclined, so he takes his bike to the dealer for maintenance. He's never had any major work done to it. Just brakes. It still has the original clutch. All he does is ride it.

Maybe he's just lucky.

I should have added that I use Mobil 1 V-Twin synthetic in the crankcase and Red Line products in the primary and transmission.

Valvetrain noise was still there but considerably reduced, and as for the clunky shifting in the transmission, it is completely gone. Anyone who is questioning switching lubricants should definately consider Redline.

I used Redline Shockproof in my 2007 FXDC transmission and it clunked just as much as it did when I used Amsoil or Harley Syn3 in the transmission. I now use Amsoil in all 3 holes.

I just changed all 3 today with amsoil. But i think im going to keep an eye out for some redline to put in the tranny. The heavy clunk gets annoying sometimes i guess.
