I am planning on changing my oil on my XB12R. The local shop gave me four quarts of the synthetic 20w50. I realized after looking at the shop manual that they recommend "Sportstrans" transmission fluid for the transmission case. I called the dealer and they said the 20w50 will work fine. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Syn-3 is approved by the factory to be used in the transmission/primary instead of Sportstrans as well as engine oil applications on all Buell models.

Synthetic is much better for XB's than SportTrans. The Shop Manual just doesn't reflect the latest school of thought on this.

Just changed mine to Syn-3. Everybody above is correct.
