RE: Best Fluids
Engine: Mobil1 Vtwin 20w50 change every 5000 miles or once a year
trans: Redline Shockproof Heavy change every 15,000 miles or 2 years (The guy at Redline said this oil will go 30,000)
primary: Redline MTL change every 5,000 miles or once a year.
I ride in Cleveland Ohio temps 40-100F ..I use synthetics because I ride a lot of city driving and somedays you sit in traffic for an hour and the syns run cooler. Just better IMO.

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry but the poor response may be because this has been pretty much covered in many previous posts.

RE: Best Fluids
I like Amsoil. 20w50 vtwin in crank and primary and Amsoil 75w90 gear lube in the trans. I put on 12k to 15k miles per year so I don't keep track of the miles between changes. The crank I change in early spring then again early July then again in the fall. The primary and trans I change just once per year the same time I do the crank in the spring. Amsoil is a synthetic oil.
