I have had good service and duration with Redline Vtwin for primary chain case and engine. I use Amsoil Severe Gear 75-140 for tyranny here in hot FL. Severe Gear gives most quiet service and has good climbing quality, although Redline Vtwin tyranny has some spectacular qualities...use one or the other ...but don't mix em. You can go 5 k on the engine and 10k on primary and tyranny...but for the first few R&R on a new bike I do all at 5k a couple of times just to see condition of fluids and amount of metal deposits on the drain plugs.
