My independent shop recommends using Redline rather than Syn3 that I've been using. Says it will even quiet down the motor and tranny, shifting smoother too. If u use it do you recommend it?

 

I was told the same thing, but I really don't notice any difference other than the price tag.

 

I have always been partial to Red Line Products. Very high quality stuff in my opinion. Whether or not it quiets down the engine noise I can't say, others will chime in on that, but these oils are not cheap, but I will continue using them on my bike. Remember that old saying, "Junk in, Junk Out". I like to use quality products in and on my vehicles, so it is up to you, do you want to spend a few extra dollars or not.

 

I agree I use quality. I can afford it, just want to here from current users. Thanks for your comments.

 

i use it and like it a lot, here in montreal its NOT more expensive about the same as mobil 1. i use redline in one and Mobil 1 in the other, i find either really good. If redline was easier to get i would use it, next time i buy it ill buy enough for all bikes.

 

You have lots of choices. I also use Redline. Either way, I think you will find a high percentage of people that will tell Syn3 for the tranny is not an adequate product. I would go with the recommendation of your Indy and do a search here and I think you will get away from Syn3. Just my .02

 

Google Amsoil "white paper" lengthy statement on v twin oil comparison's. Redline may be in that comparison along with others.

 

No doubt Redline is going into my bike next time. Done a lot of research and am sold.

 

Have used Red Line in trans for a couple years. I thought it did shift a little better. My friend borrowed my bike when he came back he said my trans was smoother and quieter than his 08 SE. Now he is using Red Line.

 

Happy redline user here...
