Been using Morris lubricants V Twin oil, but so far used only the Hardley tranny oil but would happily use something else if i knew what to get :oooops:

Been nagged at to try the ATF in the LC gearbox too !!

This has been an interesting thread and feck off the bullies who try and stop the oil talk :ner:



You do know that the Morris V twin oil is exactly the same as their (much cheaper) XHD Diesel oil? They told me that on a trip around the factory :D

One of the things that we all forget is that HD does not make oil, somebody makes it for them...

Does one really need to change the transmission oil every 2500 miles? It doesn't live life in the fast lane like engine oil...

When was the last time you changed your transmission oil on your car?


Every 40k in my Vauxhall Nova.....Redline 75-90 high pressure manual tranny oil @ £14.99/litre, so £30 plus a £5 gasket to change! :?
Redline looks and feels thin, but it stopped the cars box whining. That's why racers use it apparently, and I hear that some car makers now fit it from new! ;)

There was a post on hear many moons ago about Redline but HD's Formula+ is cheaper anyway and does the job.............does it not? I don't believe it's good to change to a different type of oil half way through the life of an engine:?

I bet most cars NEVER have there gearbox oil changed even at over 100k miles............. the only things that are really likely to degrade the Buell gear oil are friction plate material /moisture in the oil from poorly sealed clutch cables etc and maybe engine oil getting in from a blown crank seal.
I think a lot of people waste a lot of money on far too many oil changes .....we aren't IOM TT racers for fuck sake ........on Badweb there are folks changing 1125 engine oil at 1000 mile intervals and STILL using fully synthetic oil.
