Jim sorry I was out of town all week (Las Vegas) did you find what you were needing? let me know if you have resolved the oil issue, thanks Randy

Thanks Randy.

I've pretty well decided I want to go for Mobil 1 VT, Redline Shockproof Heavy, and Redline MTL for the primary.  So I need, I guess, to get it all shipped from the US, and I might as well get enough for my first change at 1000 miles, plus another 10,000 miles worth, to make it worthwhile.  Now I just need to locate a supplier who does all three and will ship to me at a reasonable cost....

Cheers,

Jim

If MCF 20W50  is the right stuff, it's good - maybe you'd pay about the same for oil in France, but this way you're getting better stuff.  Did you try PM-ing hd-dude concerning Amsoil (he's a dealer)?

Jim

I think that it's the right product :

AE 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV)
High Performance Lubricant for Engines, Transmissions and Primary Chaincases
API SG, SL/CF; JASO MA/MA2; API GL-1

AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil (MCV) is a premium oil designed for those who demand the absolute best lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCV is the result of extensive research, and it is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high temperatures of air-cooled engines such as Harley Davidson® V-Twin, wet clutch lubrication, extreme pressure regions of gears and chains and rust common to short trips and storage.

I've not PM to hd-dude, I'll made for an offer.

I'll wait your result for Mobil 1V or Amsoil....
I order only a little bit more for my first change at 1000 miles because the next will be not before the end of the year ( End of Autumn or begenning of the Winter).

Because I'll be doing over 5000km to Fuengirola and back, I want enough to give me the first change next year too, but the main thing is I need it in time for the 1500km change...

So, I reckon I need to get:

 1 quart of Redline Shockproof heavy, 3 quarts of Redline MTL, and 13 quarts of Mobil 1 VT, to see me past the 10000 mile mark, or:

 1 quart of Redline Shockproof heavy, 2 quarts of Redline MTL, and 9 quarts of Mobil 1 VT, to see me past the 5000 mile mark.

I guess I might as well just aim at the 5000 mile quantities, as the 10000 mile service is a year away yet, so that's a total of 12 quarts I'll need to get shipped; anyone know a place that stocks all three, so I can ask if they'd ship internationally?   (Checked out the CDOC site, d00d, but they don't seem to list Mobil 1 VT)

I just use CDOC as my Redline supplier. I use Amsoil in the crankcase and previously got that from my dealer.

Thanks Hoist - 

I've emailed to ask if they'd ship here.

Jim

Actually, I've found that I CAN get Amsoil MCV in the UK, so now I'm thinking I might try it.  Usual Treasure Island ripoff on price, of course - nearly $26 a quart, plus shipping..... http://www.performanceoilsltd.co.uk/amsoil_harley_davidson.html

Since I read some comments here it raises some questions....First

When you talk about changing oil to Mobil 1 does that include the primary also

And what does the Harley dealers think of this


Keep up the good information

Good morning bdas2,

For my bike, it'll Mobil1 V Twin 20W50 or Amsoil MCV for motor, Redline MTL for primary transmission and Redline Heavy Shockproof on gearbox.

Concerning my dealer, read the reply #48.

Best regards
Jacques

Finally got my bike out of the house, and on the road - 137 miles today!   



First impressions - I L-O-V-E it!!! :-)

There are times though when it seems impossible to get it to go into neutral - anyone else find this?  In first and you just ease ever so gently on the pedal, and CLUNK - it goes to second.  So you ease the other way, and CLUNK - it goes to first.  Repeat till you get fed up with it and turn the motor off....

Got the J&M antennae on, and the CB one seems fine, though I've not yet had the time to try the SWR.  The FM one, though, is disappointing.  We live in a hilly area, and it just won't lock on to stations the way the standard whip does.  But it's early days....

Bike is just a dream to ride - so much better than my 06 Haze was.

Jim

Nice ride

I was reading your thread and saw about getting into neutral. The gears are real close in there. At first I was trying to gently push down on heal or toe and then I discovered a gentil tap rather than a soft push finds it quicker heal or toe. Try this and let me know if it works for you as well.

Congrats on the new ride

Thanks IB - I'll try that.  Funny thing is - and this is really bizarre - it only seems to happen outside my garage! I can be out all day, no problem, but get home, stop, and... I can't get neutral!
