I'm currently running the Redline Shockproof heavy as well. I'm happy with it but have read some good comments about the Spectro. I like trying out different oils to see how my bike likes them...

Anyone have any experience using this in a Harley? http://www.spectro-oils.com/products/transmission/hd6speed.asp

Thanks for the replies! I noticed recently that I have a leak from the primary and will be opening it up soon to have a look. I'd like to find the source of the bits on the drain plug. Sean ----

Just thought I'd give another update regarding primary chaincase oils. I recently switched back to the 10W40 Amsoil mc engine oil in my primary. I was a little concerned about the junk on the magnetic drain plug after running the ATF. Anyway, I did an oil change today and found a bunch more...

Late last riding season I decided to try out ATF in the primary of my 2000 FXD and have put on a few miles this season so far. I decided to dump it out yesterday and have a look at the oil and the magnetic drain plug. My first impression was how thin the oil looked draining out. When I looked at...

I've got a 2000 FXD and am currently using a 75W90 gear oil from Amsoil. I see that Amsoil is now offering an SAE 190 gear oil and was wondering if this would be too thick for my application. I haven't tried the Severe Gear 75W140 yet but will likely try that out. I've found that once the...

I recently switched to ATF in the primary of my FXD. I've found the shifts are a little smoother. It feels like the plates separate better with the ATF versus the 10W40 mc engine oil I was using previously. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/art.aspx Sean ----

Hey, Thanks for the response! That is kind of what I was thinking. I noticed that it said on the bottle to check your fuel filter so perhaps it dislodged something like you mentioned. Thanks, Sean ----

Hi, I recently added a serving of Lube Corp.'s octane booster to my fuel (99 Silverado). Within a couple of days my "Check engine" light came on. I had the code scanned and it came back as a multiple, random cylinder misfire (it sounds scary but I haven't experienced any decrease in performance...

Hi all, I just thought I'd give you an update. I switched over to the universal Amsoil ATF a few days ago and have noticed some improvements in terms of shifting. I would guess that the clutch pack is separating better because the shifts seem to take less effort and neutral is even easier to...

Hi guys, Thanks for the input. I appreciate it... Master, My clutch is in the primary so it is a wet clutch as well. I recently read on a Harley forum that guys were liking the effects of running ATF in the primary, but thought I'd check it out here first. Sean ----

I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with using a synthetic ATF in the primary of a big twin HD. I am currently using Amsoil's 10W40 MC engine oil in my primary but have read that ATF would potentially be a more suitable choice. Thanks, Sean ----
