Harley Oil, Any Good?

Nice!!!! So glad to be Lucky enough to be here in the USA!!!!!

Went by and picked up the oil for the engine, tranny and primary. Got Amsoil for everything. Got the Severe Gear Synthetic Pressure for the tranny 75W-140. Evidently the folks that used the 75-90 didn't like it but they like the 75-140 much better. Now if this snow and cold weather will just let up long enough to get the job done.:gah:

As soon as I think I've got this worked out, I realize I don't. After following advice her, calling Amsoil and then going to a reputable INDY shop, I bought a quart of Amsoil 20W50 motorcycle oil. The INDY shop owner said he uses the 20W50 in the engine AND the tranny. Amsoil recommended 75/110 SVT for the gear oil (which I haven't purchased yet)

OK, so which is it for my 07 Dyna's tranny, 20W50 MC or SVT 75W/140 as dmassey suggests?

I can relate to the warm weather!!!!Tired of the cold and its just starting...lol..Dmassy how many miles do you have on yours now that you are switching out the dino oils?

HellBoy your 07 Dina would have same tranny as dmassy in addition most articles read ststes the 75W/140 is best it seems. Just saying......

Use the gear oil in the tranny....I'm using Amsoil 75-110 in mine....use whatever weight or brand you decide on, but use gear oil:devil:

Thanks guys, that helps a little, but so far, there has been many conflicting opinions, which gets a bit confusing.
Love that icon Chuck. How's he do that ;-)

Just thought I'd try Amsoil since it was a little more readily available here. Chuck, there's a guitar amplifier called SVT, and I guess it got locked in my brain after 40 years as a musician !

75/140 gear oil "might" be a bit heavy for winter time use in the gearbox of a 6-speed Harley. Perhaps 75/90 gear oil "might" be more appropriate for use in the cold environment in which you are now riding. I usually start to insert the 75/140 starting in June when the ambient temps start to stay above 80 degrees and can go upward to 100. 75/140 weight will not likely harm your gearbox but I think it will be a little stiff when shifting in colder climates. Remember, a gear box does not get all that hot compared to a crankcase and gear lubes are not measured in the same manner as engine oils.

that's what they are, opinions and everyone has had good luck with what they use. Now you just have to pick one and stay with it. See how it works for you then you will have an opinion too.

Sorry dude but my name ain't chuck

now it's getting personal

Man please!

Thought hellboy just might be advoidin me
but when you work at a shop it helps if the customers
come in and ask for things with the right name

Oh Well

Not for me man

I would like some of what he is smokin oh
