Hi All - What is the current thinking on what transmission oil to use on my 2004 R1150RT?
I reviewed posts that I could find on all oilheads.
It seems that Mobile 1 (75w140) might be better than BMW recommendation (90W?).
I am hesitant to go to RedLine Heavy, but could quiet shifting.
No major issues with transmission, just the normal "hard to engage 1st" at stop lights (release clutch, rev, shift) and clunking between 1-2, sometimes 3rd.
Bike has 19K miles on it.
Oh yes, how often do you guys change it?
Yearly or by miles?
Thanks in advance.
