Author Message   Bueller83 Posted on Friday, August 20, 2010 - 11:02 am:        WOW I love this mobile 1. Just did the change to fully syn. in preparation for a track day and my bike is running awesome. I used the mobile 1 in both the motor and trans and it is also shifting like butter   Randlepmcmurphy Posted on Friday, August 20, 2010 - 11:53 am:        What's the full name of the Mobile Synth. you are using weight and such?   Srwitt Posted on Friday, August 20, 2010 - 01:04 pm:        Are you using the Mobile 1 Vtwin? I've just been using the regular Mobile 1 Full Synth in my bike for the last couple of changes, not sure whether the clutch is not liking that, or the drag racing and wheelies I've been doing lately.   72rs Posted on Friday, August 20, 2010 - 03:15 pm:        Srwitt ......I think you might be damaging your bike by running regular Mobile 1 insted of the Mobile 1 Vtwin. Im no expert by any means but I wouldnt trust an oil not designed for the heat and abuse of a Vtwin engine.   Srwitt Posted on Friday, August 20, 2010 - 03:17 pm:        72rs, my bike has never run better aside an issue with the clutch (not sure its oil related or not). It ran noticeablly hotter when using the HD synthetic, and I've picked up a couple MPG (average) with the switch.   Ourdee Posted on Friday, August 20, 2010 - 05:00 pm:        Srwitt, I don't know your experience level, so please don't take offense at my line of questioning. 1.) Are you putting 2.5 quarts Mobile 1 Full Synth in the swing arm hole? 2.) Are you also using 1 quart Mobile 1 Full Synth in the inspection hole in the left side of the engine?   Sloppy Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2010 - 02:39 am:        There's no reason to use V twin mobil1 above their 15w-50 line for the engine as they both carry the required API "C" distinction. If your bike carried the JASO requirement then I'd go with the v-twin one - but the Buell was designed for the API "C", not the JASO lubrication requirements... and Buells have very low lubrication requirements. Think in terms of the requirements of a 2-stroke as that is the type of bottom end that the air cooled Buells have.   Bueller83 Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2010 - 10:33 am:        I am running the mobile 1 syn for V-Twin 20w-50 i believe might be 15   Gentleman_jon Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2010 - 02:05 pm:        Wrong oil in both holes: The right stuff is - Motor takes Mobil 1 15W50 Primary takes HD Formula + This has been discussed one or two,(thousand), times already.   Missin44 Posted on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 09:04 am:        Actually either hole 20w-50, I actually called Buell and synthetic 20w-50 is now approved for primary as well.   M1combat Posted on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 12:30 pm:        Synth Mobil 1 20W50 everywhere. Do NOT use Mobil 1 75W90 Gear oil in the primary. It works great as a lubricant (It's the same weight as the 20W50) but it will eat your stator in roughly 18-24K miles.
