amsoil 20-50 in engine and primary, spectro in tranny except this last change... drained tranny and realized i had no more spectro so i used (without hesitation) amsoil 20-50 in it too.
had a friend who was **** about oil analysis... hence the amsoil

So every lube works fine?
Heard lots of different responses on what lubricants everyone is using in all 3 holes and it appears no one has had a bad experience? Anybody out there have a, "learn from my mistake" story?

The only bad story I have is that I have always used Amsoil in all 3 holes. I then had a guy tell me that the Redline tranny fluid stuff is the best on the market. I thought, what the hell, I'll give it a try then. My bike went from shifting like butter to shifting like a piece of crap, instantly. I couldn't get that stuff out of my bike soon enough. I flushed my tranny, put my Amsoil 75/90 gear lube back in and it was back to shifting like butter, smooth as silk and nearly dead silent.
