Sorry, but you've had one brain fart too many. All Gear Oils DO NOT contain molybdenum.
Amsoil Gear Oil, that I recommended, has no molybdenum and neither does Mobil-1 Gear Oil or HD's Formula+ Gear Oil (which is now the primary/tranny oil recommended by the MoCo for
Sporties).
BTW, 80,000 miles on my bike, original clutch, all running Mobil-
1 75-90 GEAR OIL.

Do whatever you want with your bike.
Does that gear oil you are using have a JASO stamp on it. You know,the one that means it's good for wet clutches.

Harley ABSOLUTELY does recommend their Formula+ Gear Oil for use in the Sporty primary/tranny.

Right. I've had one brain fart too many,however you don't see me recommending gear oil in the primary. Pretty sure Harley doesn't recommend it either.

I realize that you must not be an old member on this forum but if advice is coming from cHarley, you can bet its great advice. he's been on this forum longer than most and has helped me out of many jams. I promise you, he knows what he's talking about. just so you know.
