RE: redline
Doesn't look like a Shovelhead that you are running....
Stick with the 20w-50....
The 20w-60 is for Shovelheads and bikes that are used to running on the heavier weight oil....
TC's don't like 60 weight oil....
Unless you are in the middle of Death Valley doing 120 all the time....

RE: redline
I'm running 20W60(Redline) in my 2006, and I did it cause 90 degrees and up and humidity up, but now that it's cooling down I'm switching down to the 20W50. (Redline) I'll more than likely change my oil twice a year (sooner if the 5K is reached) spring and fall, switching between the 50W and the 60W.
I would ask, why TCs don't like 60W?

RE: redline
Sounds like a friend of mine.. His riding is pretty constant, enough that he changes the oil in spring and fall religeously, rather than going so much on mileage.
I personally like to take a bath every trout season, whether I need it or not. hehehehe [sm=coolness.gif]
