Switched fluids

Well I took the plunge and switch my oil and primary type. I switched to valvoline motorcycle 20/50 and mobil atf d/m in the primary. I must say the motor runs quieter now and the clutch hooks up alot better in traffic. Granted I only have a little over 100 miles on the switch but I am pleased. By the way I was using Mobil 1 15/50 synthetic before.

I am going to try some Red Line 20w60 when it comes in next week. Check out there website, they have a very interesting demonstration about the difference between their oil and their competitors oils. A lot of it has to do with the base stock they use, it helps the oil cling to the parts, where as a hydrocarbon base doesn't.
