Not trying to imply its the best, just saying that is what I got in mine. Figured that it would have the highest thermal protection and the best tack. I have been thinking of lowering it to the Royal Purple 75/140 after reading some other threads.
Input appreciated.

Bit confused here The primary should not have gear lubes in it.
I though that it was basic motor oil in there ?
I know that Royal Purple is a will respected Wisconsin company and there gear lube for autos and truck is used by many.
I have also heard a lot of rides use the gear lube they make for bikes also.
Just not in Primary.

Re: Primary Lube Poll
Does anyone have an opinion on the new Spectro Primary Oil?
********
Heavy Duty Primary Chaincase Oil
This sheer stable petroleum is designed to withstand the punishment of high loads, and contains special polymers to provide exceptional clutch engagement and temperature stability. Meets full OEM requirements, and should be used according to manufacturer’s instructions. Formulated specifically for Harley® Sportster and Big Twin applications. Low drag, low friction loss SAE 85w viscosity eliminates clutch “drag” and slipping.

I changed all my fluids over to Amsoil. I was told by the Amsoil dealer (Motorcycle Madness, Memphis, TN.) that I would do better to put 10w-40 in the primary, and 20w-50 in the engine. Is that wrong?
