AMSOIL is all you really need. Redline and Royal Purple and others are not big enough sellers to make it worth your while.

Probably depends on your location.  Redline is huge around me - it is readily available and can be had at many locations.

Really ?  Redline has a high sulfer content which you don't want with wet clutches. I also thought in independant surveys AMSOIL and Mobile 1 came out ahead in the engine case. Redline is said to be best in the trans. There was a couple threads a ways back with all of this data for all of the top lubricants. Perhaps the d00derator can dig it up and bring it back up from the thread dustbin.

I use Mobil 1 V twin in the motor and Redline Shockproof in the trans and Redline MTL in the primary.  But around here, I am in the minority.  Most that run synthetic around here run Redline everywhere...

I had never heard about sulfer content being an issue...  Surprising a synthetic would have any sulfer...   :nixweiss:

Synthetic is a misnomer. It's still made from dino oil just like Spenda is made from sugar. The "synthetic" part is added polymers etc for reduced friction and wear. Where the hell is that site member who's a chemist when we need him ?  Oh yeah, we ran him off on the thread about polishes and waxes

No long sleeves, but a skull on the front.

Does that work ?
