As I'm waiting on parts I thought I'd give a look at how the new ATF oil and the Hayden M6 tensioner was doing.

I've only got 2000miles on the tensioner running in the ATF

By the pic needles to say I'm well chuffed  :bananarock: :orange: :drink:

There's no grooving in the block and the chain was at it's correct tension.

Great to see as I run ATF as well. My clutch performance is better than its ever been.

You're right Chain's clutch is much better as well. Along with (For me anyway) first gear clunk from the compensator  is at a more of a heavy click as to the hard clunk and the bike no longer has that forward jerk from the clutch drag.
Then there's "N" it slips in. Before at a set of lights I'd just get it into "N" just as the lights changed back  >:(

Amsoil Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid.  (i'm sensing a pattern here, lol.)

I too have a Amsoil, works great in all 3 holes. I wonder if anyone has tried cheez-wiz as an alternative to everything else “recommended “ as a lubricant. :drummer:

When I worked in a garage in the early 1970s we got an old car in that had quit running.  Motor was blown. Somebody had stuffed peeled bananas into the oil filler hole - not sure how many but looked like a dozen - to quiet down the rattling motor.  Owner of the car told us it was quiet for about a week before it stopped running.

Mobil 1 motor oil isn't very clutch friendly.  If you stick with motor oil, look for JASO MA2 rating.

I'd suggest trying the Red Line primary oil.  It's lighter weight than 20w-50 motor oil.

i like using shell rotella t.  15w-40.  runs about $15 for a gallon jug (enough for 3+ changes) and is jaso rated for wet clutch use.

I think that may be the next oil I try in the primary.

I do add a 1 1/2 oz of ATF Lubeguard platinum high performance additive  to it as well.
