Wal Mart 15w-40 oil faired better in UOA

No, the Wing just has BIG gears in the transmission. Compare it to, say, a 600cc sportbike with all those cute little gears.

Yes that is the "spin down" I was referring to. It's a little easier to experiment with that on with a Harley...... the primary chain case/clutch are separate. I've played around with different types in the primary/transmission and it appears that the lube type in the primary chain case makes much more difference that what's in the transmission. The Wing is different, having a shared sump for everything. Still, some oils produce better shifting than others, at least for about the first 3,000 miles or so.

go spend the $22.50 x 8 (plus postage) plus the price of oil to prove it yourself.
oh and that quantity of oil you will need is for 2 changes.
and you will also need about 16 hours of riding time of which at least 12 will be in offroad competition.


Hey Steve,
I recognize you from Thumper Talk. Are you still using the Super Tech? I just dumped the last of my '04 vintage M1 red cap in the WR250 and was thinking of trying something different. I don't see the need to spend extra $ for no gain. Is the Super Tech 15w-40 dino or what-just want to make sure I get the right flavor.

FWIW Amsoil MC 20w-50 really changed the way my bike shifts for the positive.
