Primary Oil Discussion

[Phrogg]

I was told from a buddy who races his buell to put amsoil 20w50 in the primary. Which makes me doubt there would be any slipping issues with the clutch.

I have amsoil 20w50 in both and am very happy with the clutch, shifting and engine idle. Very pleased all the way around.

Amsoil 20w50 in both... I'm happy...

i use amsoil 20w-50 in my primary and 75w-90 sevear gear on my clutch side.

Can you tell me how you do this? You can only put one kind of oil in the primary area so you can't have 2. The clutch is built into the primary as is the tranny and it only holds 1 quart of oil. So please let us know how you are putting oil in 2 different places. The bike only has 2 kinds of oil. Primary oil that pumps the tranny and clutch and then the 20w50 that goes in the swing arm for the engine.

The oils are seperate, one for the engine, one for the clutch. There are 2 drain bolts. The one under the swingarm and one near the front left side of the engine.

I think the clutch is actually smoother now with the amsoil

I know this but if you read his post "i use amsoil 20w-50 in my primary and 75w-90 sevear gear on my clutch side. " It states he is putting 20w50 and 75w90 in his primary. That can't happen do you see what I am saying? I know there are 2 drain plugs one for the primary one for the oil reservoir in the swingarm but you shouldn't be running 75w in your primary.

clutch side, would be in reference to where the other drain plug is I imagine...

I think he is calling the crankcase oil (swingarm) the primary oil

[dans03firebolt]

If he is then he is not doing things right. You shouldn't run 75w in your primary.
