Default wrong redline?

I hear a lot of perople suggesting Redline, so i decided to order a few quarts. I ordered the Redline superlight shockproof and it says it is rated at 75W90.

I think I see most saying they got the heavy and was wondering if I should use this? I live in Florida, where it is hot and plan on changing every 5000 miles. Thanks!

Default RE: wrong redline?

I assume you want transmission oil. If so, you want to use Red Line Shockproof Heavy, not what you have. I'd return it (if possible) and get the Heavy. For your bike, you want: Red Line 20W50 for the crankcase, MTL for the primary, and Shockproof Heavy for the transmission. You can be all of these thru MyOilShop.com , or its new parent, RPW with a 10% discount and fast delivery. PM me if needed.

Thanks. The website I bought it off. Racer Parts Wholesale, was a little confusing as far as the ordering part went for me. I spoke to them and they are going to correct it. Thanks for the clarification.
