I just had the 1000 mile service yesterday and the Uly is running better than ever. They had to reset TPS, adjust timing(slightly advanced) and Primary chain. I went ahead with synthetic oil too. I had one question though after I got home, the chart shows SYN3 x 4 and no Formula +. I am assuming they didn't use the right Primary fluid. Will this make a difference for one time? | ||

It hasn't for me. | ||

If you notice anything at all, it may just be a little tighter on the clutch lever. I read that the F+ was part of the solution to the heavy clutch pull of earlier XBs. I would definitely not worry about it. At your next service, it would be interesting to put F+ in and see if there is a noticeable difference. I could see a spring scale employed for that purpose.  | ||

I would think the clutch lever effort required would be the same for both as this is a function of the clutch springs? The fluid would make a difference in whether the clutch would slip or not wouldn't it? | ||

I think what I read said that the clutch pull reduction was addressed by combination of changes and that the Formula+ was an integral part of the overall design. I am no expert and I wish I could remember where I read it, but regardless, Sport-Trans is a proven product. I would not worry about it at all.

You are right on Speedstar. | ||

Right on. The OM is full of useless suggestions like fluids, tire pressures, and crap like that.  | ||

I called the service guy and he says he used Formula + but just put down 4 Quarts of Syn3 on the chart. I guess I will chance it this time and see if there is a difference when I do it myself next time with the Formula +. |
