WOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOO!!! :thumbsup2: You might want to consider adding a bit of MotorKote to your oil just for that added "wear-in" of the gearset.

gbphotog Posted March 26, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 26, 2010 Great news! Hope I can say the same soon. Mine goes in next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceMan Posted March 27, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 27, 2010 Glad to hear it! I hope I can say the same. Mine is going in April 12th. I already checked the clutch basket and it is definitely the "I" version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a small dose of motor kote in last fall. MISTAKE !! The wine is louder now than ever. I don't know whether it was the amziol or the motor kote but they are BOTH going before I start riding this year, back to Mobile 1 and no additives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 27, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 27, 2010 This is so strange how all this is so much different in each bike, I am the opposite of Adventure 1943, If I use Mobile mine gets louder and the MotorKote and the Amzoil I use makes it better, I just can not figure why this happing. I also am going to try next week , installing a 3rd (I) Basket myself. Just to see if there as been any changes at all in the gear cut after 5 years. If it doesn't work it The basket will be for sale. my own experiment. I will also be measuring my old (I) against the new one. So far I have used (D) (E) (F) (G) (I) (I) in my bike.

SilvrT Posted March 27, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 27, 2010 I put a small dose of motor kote in last fall. MISTAKE !! The wine is louder now than ever. I don't know whether it was the amziol or the motor kote but they are BOTH going before I start riding this year, back to Mobile 1 and no additives Lots of folks swear by Amsoil. I tried it last year (before the I basket when I had the whine) ... made the whole engine sound noisier...not sure if the whine was worse or not. I'm now using Rotella T 15w40. The engine is the quietest that it's ever been and I'm quite happy with it now... to me it sound like it should sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick97spirit Posted March 30, 2010 Share #9 Posted March 30, 2010 Has anyone used the Rotella T synthetic? I saw both in Wally world today, but didn't know if the Rotella synthetic was ok with a wet clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celt Posted March 30, 2010 Share #10 Posted March 30, 2010 been using the rotella t syn(blue jug) in my Triumph for years, no probs with wet clutch . will be doing an oil change in the rsv this weekend with the rotella t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfoster Posted March 30, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 30, 2010 I switched from regular rotella to the sythetic and everything seems very happy. For me the whine has decreased, maybe to the thinner or lighter weight oil. Mine screams with a heavey 20w-50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDbiker Posted April 2, 2010 Share #14 Posted April 2, 2010 How do you know which basket you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 2, 2010 Share #15 Posted April 2, 2010 You do not know until you pull it out. I do not have any idea if they install the (I) basket at the factory or not. the markings are on the back of the basket. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted April 2, 2010 Share #16 Posted April 2, 2010 here's a pic of a "G" basket ... [ATTACH]43528[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 2, 2010 Share #17 Posted April 2, 2010 TDbiker, look at the TOP of SilvrT's Picture and you will notice the (G) scribed into the basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDbiker Posted April 8, 2010 Share #18 Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks, I see the "G" as indicated. I was hoping to be able to tell which basket I have without teardown but I guess that isn't possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
