But there are some fluids (not saying that this is one of them) that will do the job in all 3, but they are costly as hell.
If the word is that the SYN3 is not cutting it in the tranny, then a controlled study of different bikes with Syn3 usage is really in dire need. Then maybe some qualatative evidence could be presented as a testiment to this fluid not being suitable for the transmissions, which would save alot of buck the whole way around.

I will post the results of an oil analysis on my tranny using the Amsoil 20w 50 after I get about another thousand miles on it. I will also be looking for one of my local customers who is using our 75W 90 and see what it's oil report looks like for comparisons. I have another biker that is using our 20w 50 in his tranny and I will get a sample of his fluid also. In about a month I should have the necessary data to share. I will share it no matter what the data says. I am not a politician seeking office.
