Tri Glide Primary Oil

[Jack Klarich]

To both rhino2 and Jack Klarich, thank you. Due to finances, I might try the oil additive first. If that doesn't work I might try and find you Jack. It looks like you're in Jax, Fl and I'm about 60 miles in Glen St Mary....lol

You can reach me @ 904-304-3545, if I do not answer leave a message

I am kind of familiar with where you live and will help you whenever I can

Oil consumption

Rhino 2 is right. It's a huge poker run, at least 600 bikes that run 13 different routes through Jax. It's to build money for vets, first responders and so much more.

Just throwin this out there people..Lets Discuss!!

What Oil do You use in your Tri Glide Primary?

Why?

How Much?

How often R & R?

ATF? Dennis?ThumbUp

Please Explain, as we all value your choice!

:Shrug:

With the redesigned compensator I don't use ATF anymore.

These compensators need a high quality oil because of the slide ramps and flat roller bearing.

I've actually been adding a small amount of ZDDP additive to my primary oil because of the slide ramps. They work just like a flat tappet cam in older car engines. Hasn't effected the clutch function (no slipping) for the last 2 years and my primary is still clunk free.

Amsoil - Nothing Better

AGREED.

Amsoil Engine and Primary. Transmission use Harley ATF - HOG wrench recommended (happy with tranny shifting).

Three hole change every 5000-7500mi or at 1 year. Takes about one hour. Good insurance.

:Agree:

I use Amsoil in the motor and trans, but like Formula+ for the primary.

I don't use anything automotive in my Harley.....oils, tires etc. .....not counting wax's cleaner's etc.
