Hello all. I know this has been asked 100 times, but I'm wondering what oil you use and why. I'm looking to quiet down the shifting "clunk" and protect the innards of my bones with the slickest of the slick. Convert me to your way of thinking!!! lol

BTW, I currently run HD Syn in all three holes (5w 30w I believe). Heard good things about Royal Purple and Mobil One...

 

Redline Shockproof for the transmission.

 

Sold! Looked it up online, and it's just what I'm looking for thanks..

That's one hole filled, what to put in the other two? This is sounding like a bad porno..

 

No problem. Helped my bike shift like butter.

 

You want a motorcycle oil in the primary(no friction modifier). Same can be used in engine, but some use regular motor oil in the engine too. 20W-50.
AMSOIL and Mobil are good options. RP is questionable, but still an option.

 

Is this the redline you guys use? I could use a bit of quieting down on shifts as well.

Another Redline Shockproof here, awesome product.

 

i use mobile 1 75w90 gearoil in the tranny and havent missed a gear in two years,works great. also mobile 1 vtwin 20w50 in the engine and primary

 

I use Spectro 6speed 75-140 in the tranny. Most noticible benefits, No more problems finding neutral and maybe smoother shifting. Can't say it's done much if anything for the occassional clunking. I don't believe there's any magic to the brandname.

I use Mobile Vtwin 20-50 in the engine. Tolerates temps to 300 and contains more anti-wear additives such as phosphorus. Also runs about 5 degrees cooler on average compared to wife's Deluxe.

I use HD Formula + in the primary just because.

The clunk is normal.
Change of fluids will not help much
