I use Amsoil in my 8 company trucks, my RKC, my VTX1800, my wife's 750 Honda classic, my Corvette, my Tahoe, my wife's Honda Accord. I change the oil in the Harley at 5000 miles but everything else gets changed at 15,000 miles.

RE: AMSOIL (BEWARE)
Again, it is NOT the oil. I don;t care what oil you had in there, I would say the same if you said it was HD Syn3. If you do tell people that AMSOIL sucks, you'd better leave out the part that you told all of us, becuase you're liable to get wierd looks and maybe even some chuckles

Hello Spike. Yes, from the VTX forum. Still have my custom VTX but it is for sale though I'm not in any hurry as I still like to watch the heads turn when I ride it. Certainly good to see you on the Harley forum. I know you will be a welcome addition. Don't know if I ever put this bike on the VTX forum. $26,000 invested. I'll take $13,000 if you know anyone. Here are some after, before, and after agin pics. http://www.bestexterminating.com/bike/

RE: AMSOIL (BEWARE)
Not quite sure what you mean by vibration. Is it engine vibration or is it vibrating when riding?? As far as engine vibration, I get that when I start the motor when its cold and goes away when warmed up. Its because the oil is thick and needs to warm up.
Just my thoughts!

RE: AMSOIL (BEWARE)
Yeah, I just sold my custom VTX, helped load her into a trailor last Wednesday, sad day. Wife told me to keep it, but I just couldn't justify having 2 bikes when I can only ride one. Plus, we just had our first kid in December, so if I wanted a touring bike with hard bags, trunk and fairing, the X had to go.
