    Im gona change the primary oil in my bike once it gets nice out again, just wondering what weight everyone uses, im a huge fan of amsoil products and would like to stay with that line but im just curious as to what everyone uses

    Likewise, Amsoil has been great. I use 20W50 synthetic on my BMW K1200GT and Buell XBS. I also put 5W20 into my Honda CR-V. I specially like the discount you get if you become a member and order on their web-site. One other manuf. that comes close is Liqui-Moly.

    I use Amsoil 20W50 in both holes. Theres a noticeable difference I think. Seems to be a lot smoother when shifting.

    I use Amsoil 20/50 in the Engine and amsoil gear oil last time.I used Redline Full Synthetic in the Bikes Tranny this last servicing.I switch every other time, on the Trannys fluid.The heat on an air cooled engine just needs the best you can give it.The fluids are the heart take care of the Heart.;)

    Is there any reason not to use the HD product they sell? I'm getting ready to change mine, Believe it or not my 1125r is still under warrenty. I'm a big Mobil1 fan, so will probably go with it.

    Yeah! You have to go to the dealer and talk to "those people"
