Post Your Latest (Motorcycle) Oil Change!

Is it OK to post transmission oil changes in this thread? If not sorry.
2009 Harley Dyna Superglide with 29,000 miles: Out 1 Qt HD Syn3...: In : 1 Qt Redline Shockproof synthetic gear oil. Planning on running the Redline 10,000 miles.
 
Yeah of course it is! My engine oil also happens to lubricate the clutch and transmission in my shared sump bikes, so it's all good!
 
2000 Kawaksaki Vulcan 800 Classic.

Removed Purolator L14612 oil filter and took out Mobil Delvac 15w40.

In: Same, and OEM filter.


2008 Kawasaki Concours C14:

Out: Castrol Power 1 10w-40
In: Same, and OEM filter.

Big fan of this oil, very smooth shifts on both bikes and at $47.72 for a case of 6 Qts with free Prime shipping, it's a good deal.

Edit: There's a 20% off coupon on Amazon right now which takes it down to $38.18 for 6 Qts.

this oil shifts amazing for me. It's full of zinc and phos. I am uber sensitive to the transmission workings of my bikes. My toe can tell when a bike is happy.

2014 Yamaha FZ-09, 36K miles. Spirited street riding, no track use.

Out: Valvoline 10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle oil
In: Valvoline VR1 SAE 40 monograde (dino)

No filter change, Fram FPS6607 is now on its second OCI. I change these every third oil change for a FCI of ~10K-12K miles.

With 600 miles on the VR1 so far, bike is running great. Shifts brilliantly (in fact possibly even better than the oil it replaced), and no clutch issues despite Valvoline's warning about not being recommended for wet clutch applications. Interested in seeing how well the monograde holds up in the long run.

Other oils previously run in this bike: Rotella T 15W-40, T5 15W-40, T6 5W-40, Valvoline 10W-40 dino M/C oil, Redline 10W-40, Motul 7100 10W-40.
 
I generally don't look at motorcycle oils - the shared trans bikes get an HDEO of 15W-40 or 30, the Airhead just needs a car oil. Although I'm a bit fussy with my 20w-50, a pushrod 2 valve twin needs a bit of ZDDP.

I also don't look at Harley oil. But a HD is an aircooled 2 vavle pushrod twin...the Airhead is a 180 degree V twin. So I got some Penrite V Twin 20W-50, on sale, down from outrageously expensive to just very expensive...well, down to cheaper than Edge. Just worried about oil leaks with the POA/ester. I have a slight pushrod tube leak, I don't really want it pushed to a repair job.

2006 Suzuki DL1000 Vstrom
Out: Oil
In: Mobil 1 10W-40 Cycle oil which I hear is just a way to charge more for oil and I should be using Rotella T6.
Filter, K-N 138
