Guess I will have to try the Rotella, I use the Rottella-T 15-40 in the KLR-650 and it works great......thanks for your input.

Now that's the kind of test that tells me to make the switch. !

Thanks, WD

I wouldn't be afraid to run any 75-90 gear oil. I just prefer the synthetics. I'm actually switching to Klotz for all my oils.

I put 4000 miles on with Mobil 1 syn 75-90 with no problems. So just for the h... of it, I did a switch to Amsoil syn 20-50 motor oil. I have about 700 miles on the new oil and I dont know why, but I dont feel much deference. I must be lucky, my Primary works good with either one...

I am using the Mobil 1 full syn 75W90 in my scoot and so far the shifting feels a little smoother. I also changed the primary oil on my buddys 05 1200 custom, and he says he can feel a diffirence, and a friend of his who rides his sporty says he can notice it as well. I feel that someone who does not own the bike can tell, it had to make some sort of diff.
