If you change it once a year I would go with Harley, oil is the last thing you want to cheap out on

I tend to agree with Harley. There are also a bunch of alternatives that are good quality and this could be one. Looked at some reviews on Amazon and people liked it. What was the price difference?

Since the primary and the trans oil is not getting diluted with gas and exhaust you don't have to change it often. So you can save money there. For example have you ever owned a stick shift car? When was the last time you changed the oil in that transmission?

The only thing I found is what you put in the primary. If you have a older bike if you put full sync in the primary you could have some clutch slippage. If so just change it out for non sync oil.

Please update us with you opinion when you change your oil again.

The Kit came with ester synthetic engine oil some type of hifiltro filter , Primary oil , haven't felt it slip yet , but keeping an ear on it . and trans lube . 77 bucks shipped . Changed all 3 holes so far after 300 miles all is good noticed as soon as the engine pops off the oil light goes right out , it used to take a couple of seconds after the bike sat . Thanks Vince
