Syn 3 Motorcycle Lubricant

nogoslim

The first thing I do when I buy a bike is drain the HD oil out and run a top grade synthetic oil, not any HD oil products. Harley builds great motorcycles, but the don't make good oils. Just my opinion ringing in. Follow the links that Glider posted, you'll learn a lot....

01 Night Train

I have an 01 Night Train (88B) and I have used Mobile 1 since the first oil change. I use it everywhere execpt the primary. I was afraid that it was too slick and the clutch would slip. I live in LA (Lower Alabama) and as soon as I switched to Mobile 1 the bike ran cooler. You will certainly notice a difference when you first put it in the bike.

I hope this helps.

HOPE YOUR TERM Mobile 1 is not PUT in all three holes.... it's a good synthetic oil but ENGINE OIL

suggested for engine okay BUT for the other holes
chain/clutch use a (made for) primary lube oil
tranny use a GEAR OIL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>spectro or redline shockproof hvg...It will shift better/quiet running/LAST LONGER

YOU"LL BE THANK NOW n LATER

READ in oil section
syn 3 is a SIN..

people who have used it in all three holes have had premature WEAR.....
In primary, CLUTCH HANG-UP DRAG ,plates disc not disengaging..

JUST NOT A GOOD LUBE.... at all

75/90 GEAR OIL in the gear box, 20/50 (MOTORCYCLE MOTOR OIL) in the oil tank, and I use 10/40motorcycle motor oil in the chain case. All Mobil 1. Been doing that for years and never had a clutch slip. Works for me.

I run Amsoil, 20W50 in the motor, 75W140 in the transmission, and regular primary lube in the primary and never had any problems.

I tell you what, I know there are probably really good synthetic oils out there but I love Amsoil.

I would not go with Amsoil. Mobile One is at least as good, and available anywhere at most auto part stores. With Amsoil you either carry all you might need or sit and wait for your order to come in. No thanks. Should be called scamsoil. (just kidding)

walleye, I do not know where you live, but within 3 miles of me there are 2 places I can get Amsoil, and just about every aftermarket shop here that I have been in sells Amsoil.
