First 1000 Mile Service
« on: June 25, 2009, 03:16:58 AM »

(Disclaimer -- I cross posted this to drive train section my service is coming up fast and I need to order the oil)  :whip:

 :help:

Hello Everyone,

I am about to have my first 1000 mile service for my SERG.  After reading a gazillion posts on oils I have decided that Syn3 is not the way to go.  I am heavily leaning toward the Amsoil product line.  But, I am not sure what to use where.  I not convinced that using the same oil in all three holes is the best approach.  The simplicity argument is lame at best and I would think it takes a real idiot to mess it up and put the wrong oil in the wrong hole.

I live in Vermont and expect to drive most until early November.

Amsoil 20w50 for the engine
Amsoil 75w110 (SVT)  for the transmission
Amsoil (??) for the primary

I also would consider Redline too.

Update --
I am going to have the dealer do the work.  I check with the stealer I bought the bike from and they wanted $400.  Found a dealer the same distance way and if I supply my own oil it will be $180.  Guess where i am going.

On another note, I have purchased all of the service manuals.  How hard is it to do the services myself?  The service manual does not mention 2500 mile services and the dealers do.  What do you change your oil at?
