Shock proof

Mobil One out Vtwin red line in.
what a strange colour not as thick as the expected glue.
looked at the funnel I used, a flim of the funny pink stuff will not run off it just sits there.

I normally let my funnels dip clean but with this it won't, I had to whipe it off

Faast Ed is an unknown quantity at this point
Now picture that "clingyness" on your tranny gears.

Great stuff!

No metal-on-metal while waiting for the parts to get lubricated.

Great stuff! I've used it in both my previous bikes and the Road Glide will be getting it next week when it gets the 1K service.

Nice solid click when shifting and no more hunting for neutral.

It's so good if I didn't know any better I'd put it in the motor.

I know how to put the stuff in the tranny but, how do you get it out? Do you need to flush and fill or what ever comes out comes out for a change?

You could:
1. remove tranny from bike.
2. disassemble completely.
3. carefully wash all parts with kerosene.
4. reassemble and re-install.

or:
1. drain and fill.

I chose the second option. Sorry...being a smarta$$. But seriously, I just switched to the Redline Shockproof Heavy. Then a few months later I had to install a new clutch cable which meant draining the tranny and removing the clutch actuator mechanism. Everything in there was nicely coated with the pink Shockproof. If I was going to switch to something else (which I won't), and wanted to get all the oink stuff out, I would seriously consider some type of flush and fill, or at least a quick change interval.
