20w/50 engine oil and 75w/90 trans fluid are actually about the same, they just use a different labelling system. Go with the Redline, it will do very well under all riding conditions.

Redline fuel system cleaner

This is something I have been meaning to ask about. How many run what type of fuel cleaner in their bikes. I guess I mean to say fuel system cleaner. I like to use Lucas in my vehicles but been wondering what to use in my bike. Guess if I don't get answers on this I will start a new thread. Sorry OP, did not mean to hijack your thread...

Redline fuel system cleaner for motorcycles - smelly so I only use it on a long day
putt and get it through in one tank. Normal Redline product that works on older
injectors.

What weight do you guys use with the HD Heavy ShockProof trans oil? i've heard they have a 75W-250... Is that the one you're talking about?

I switched to Redline in the crankcase, primary and tranmission at 5k at the suggestion of my local dealer. It's worth the money. You do have to deal with 3 specific fluids; however its worth it. These fluids were specifically engineered for the locations they are used in. Trans oil "Shockproof" quiet's the transmission, and improves shifting.

Use Redline >>>HEAVY Shockproof in the transmission.

I also use Redline fuel injector cleaner, it does indeed have a smell, but I have a strong sense of smell and it only smells when you pour it in. I have never noticed an odor coming from the exhaust.

Yes, that's the stuff. As others have said, three different fluids but worth it. The syn
trans gear oil will damn near last forever as moisture doesn't attack it like dino oil.

Their injector cleaner really does work - my five year old SG never had any cleaner through
it when I got it. Was waaaaaaay disappointed with 33-35 mpg. One 4 oz bottle and
a 200 mile day trip later and I'm getting 40-42 mpg. No bs.

Redline works great. Bike feels even newer than when I bought it. I am anxious to see what it looks like when I take it out.
