If you have a leak, then you need to get it fixed.

I used to, but the 20/50 in the primary seems to thin out enough to leak. Switched to the HD Formula+ and leaks stopped immediately, w/o even changing the gasket.
 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\;
When I got my DD6 tranny, Baker recommmends RedLine SPH so that left me with AMSoil MCV in the crankcase.
 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\;
On my last oil change, I wanted to try a 20/60 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\;in the crankcase for the hot TX summer and AMSoil does not offer one, so I am trying RedLine V-Twin Syn 20/60.

Thanks.
I guess I better have the dealer come pick my bike up and fix it for me.

RE: For those who use Amsoil
LOL Phil!
I use Amsoil 20/50 in the engine, 75/90 in trans, and B and M Trick Shift (Synthetic ATF) in the Primary.
Like PhimM, I too am thinking of switching to a 20/60 or straight 60 for the summer.

How about this one....
Has anyone ever experienced neutral lights in 2nd, 3rd, 4th gears, after the tranny is hot? I haven't had the neutral light until I switched from dino oil to 75-90 Mobile 1 Gear Oil....
Any thoughts on this ISSUE

Amsoil 20W50 in engine, 75W90 in tranny, Formula Plus in Primary. \\; 75W90 in the tranny took away any of the 5th gear whine, which for me wasn't that bad to begin with. \\; I know others are using a heavier grade but I didn't want the extra drag on the gears caused by heavier gear oils and found the lighter gear oil does the job for me.
