Have any of you guys used Red Line Heavy Duty Shock Proof Gear Oil for your final drives. We used to use it in the final drives on our BMW's and they (the rear hub) would run alot cooler. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it out....

Not here Rex.

Switched mine over to Royal Purple maxgear and noticed a reduction in temps simillar to what you describe.

RP is all I run in the blue now.

 
Mobile 1 75-95. I think it is close in the strait weight to Yamaha Lube that is used in the rear drive.

Readily available and 4 changes from the bottle.

 
Amsoil Severe Gear 75-90. :yes:

Reduction in temperatures? Really? I ain't buying.

And then, does it even really matter one bit if one runs a little bit higher than another?

Haha...How EXACTLY does one measure that temperature??

Friction makes heat. Reduce the friction, reduce the heat. Measure the heat with one of those fancy electronic thermometer gun thingies, or even use a sacrificial meat thermometer and stick it right in the rear drive oil itself- careful, you'll probably force a teaspoon or so of oil out as you insert the meat thermometer into the fill hole. Just be sure to repeat that temperature test in the same manner each time. (Same weather conditions, riding/route/speed conditions, etc.)

 
Rectal thermometer???? I"m still stunned when I read **** like this. Talk about anal.

I bought 2 gallons of store branded cow piss 9 years ago ( Valvoline 80 90 gear Lube) and my v star 1100 did 200 K and never blew up.

I have possibly 2 more changes in the feeger and I assure you, This **** is going back in again.

When the hell are people gonna get it that spending big money on horse **** is ********?

RoyalPurple, Pink Cow ****, Mobile 1, and all that fancy **** is to me a colossal waste of cash. an it's proven it's self out here half a million times here on this forum let alone countless others.

But then again if yer dumb enough to fall for the targeted add's I suppose you've more money than brains and should spend excessive amounts for the cool kid ****.

Be real careful there FJR Jimbo, chances are very good that Bustanut joker would like that!

Don, it's rude for you to be talking with your mouth full.
Wheaton, are you looking a gift horse in the mouth as it were??
