Re: Oil Suggestions For Harleys
The question I have is why such the miles varience on the Spectro 6 speed trans lube. On the site it states should be changed out every 5K but yet HD states trans changes are recommended at 20K. Glider seems to be a strong believer in these products so maybe he can respond. I have just purchased these products but now wonder why such differences in service miles and did I do the right thing.

Re: Oil Suggestions For Harleys
The difference is they want to sell you a new bike when it wears out and I want to keep it running like new
![]() The trans can go more miles than I run it but being it only takes one quart of lube, it's cheap insurance to change it and always have the best in there. I do a service usually at 2500 and do all three oils. |

Oil Suggestions For Harleys
I don't see anyone mentioning Bel-Ray. I've used Amsoil, Red Line, and Bel Ray. My personal preference was the Bel-Ray. However, I stopped using it and went to Red Line when I found out that their V Twin motor oil was really their regular motor oil in a different can. When I ran out of my supply of Red Line I went to Amsoil because I had a few gallons hanging around the garage. But I will probably go back to Red Line. The tests are solid and the testimonials are unbelievable. It seems all the racers are using Red Line.
JD Oh, and a PS: I've used the Red Line Shockproof Heavy in my trans, but I got better results (better = noticeable; softer clunking) using Bel-Ray's V Twin Tranny fluid, which is NOT a synthetic but worked great. I actually felt and heard the difference. Last edited by glider; Oct 30th, 2009 at 11:25 PM. Reason: merged |

Re: Oil Suggestions For Harleys
It sounds to me that you haven't used the Spectro yet that you purchased.
