Amsoil

I'll say! And nice pic too, BTW! I'm curious how all that paint came off your bike frame. Did they say how once they fixed it?

They had the bike for like 3 months. I was climbing the wall with nothin to ride.
They had to work the HD rep, and it took some time. They got some special paint or product from HD up north. and found a automotive paint shop and gave instructions on how to use it. Don't have a clue how the paint come off. MY guess is the frame wasn't preped right before they did the epoxey.
But HD finally stood up and fixed it. Man was I close to the end of my 2 yr warranty.
And on the tranny, I was runnin Amsoil 75-140 SVO oil. I was told by more than one dealer. Not to run amsoil and not to run gear oil in it.
So I quit running Amsoil in any part of the motor.
Notised with Amsoil in the engine it made the engine make more noise too.
I changed the Motor, primary and tranny every 3000 miles.
I was a Amsoil dealer and got it direct. As well the Amsoil high micron oil filter.

Could see right there that if'n I got another bike I was gonna git a extended warranty period. Weather I used it or not.
Between the paint on the frame and the tranny and a couple other things, the warranty was greatly needed.

So you know you absolutely got to have the best oil that money can buy at all cost . And you got two degrees in Oil engineering. Put in yer bike what you like.
But I've had a hard time with somethings. And I'm gun shy.

They told you not to use Gear Oil in a Tranny(Gearbox)???? What DID they say to use??

20w-50 Vtwin oil.
So I'm runnin 20w50 Harley Oil

In some bikes Like my wifes sportster they want you to run Forumla Plus.
So when I changed the oil I put Formula plus in the primary, tranny, and I think they said to run 20-50 in the engine so That's what I put in it.
I had a 6 yr warranty on the 09 Nightster when I bought it.

20-50 in the engine is good...engine oil in a gearbox is bad advice IMO...but ya done good putting in the Formula+ in the tranny because it is a gear oil....Do you remember the Sport trans fluid for Sporties,it was a 75-90 gear oil with additives for wet clutch operation....HD stopped with that label and came out with Formula+...basically the same thing,but then said it's good for Big twin Primaries and trannies too,which it is....
Do those Dealers know what kind of oil the Formula+ is?? I doubt it....

20-50 Screaming Eagle Oil all 3 holes on my bike.
6 dealerships told me the same thing.

I've ran Amsoil SVO 75-140 and had problems. When I used it I was told it was some of the best Oil to use.

Go to your dealer and see what he says for you to run in yer bike.

Formula Plus was designed by HD for the primary and trannys of certain bikes.
