Congratulations on your new scooter toneydoc. I've always loved Ultras. I have a friend that has a CVO Ultra Classic a year or two old, he loves it.

Im aware that the clutch is the weak link in the 1800, no problems yet. On the oil, I was hoping I could find a good full synthetic with no friction modifiers and in the 15w-40 viscosity range without shelling out a big price for amxoil or m14t. The M1 car grade stuff in that range says it for...

I'm not real well educated on shear and wear properties of oil but I assumed that M1TD would have to handle things like shear pretty good to do so well in my diesel suburban. The viscosity spread is the same as in RT6 5w-40 and a lot of guys use that for the life of their bikes, changing oil at...
