what's up with bubbldes in tranny oil?

[kennyflhr]

I've got a 98 Road King with a S&S 6 speed. After riding a few miles, pull out the dip stick & had air bubbles in the oil. I'm running rev tech 85/140 with a mix of 50/50 lucas oil additive. Too thick? Will be switching to mobil 75/90 or 75/140. Rev tech"custom chrome" is now based in korea, I don't give a damn if the oil did come from the middle east, i'm not buying anything from them anymore! That's why I payed twice as much for the S&S gear set. My friend bought the rev tech & it said " made in korea" right on the box. to hell with that! Trying real hard to buy USA. Sorry, didn't mean to let this turn into a rant.

My buddy has a 06 FXDB and it doesnt matter what kind of oil we put into it, it does the same thing. Short ride, bubbles. Long ride, bubbles. We finally stopped worrying about about it now he just rides and it hasnt givven any trouble.

Thanks for the reply.I rode today & it still had bubbles after 200 miles & I still got a tranny that shifts great. I'm sticking to my oil & going to ride the **** out of it! Finally stopped raining.Time to ride!Guess I can stop building that boat,what am I going to do with all these animals that came?
