Hello all, im about to do my first service on my bike (2003 XB9S 12,000 miles, bought her a month ago and love it!)
previous owner used semi-synthetic Castrol oil in eng. and formula+ in trans. and fram filter

Im switching to Mobil 1 v-twin, wix filter, and i need to know whats good for the trans? ive read way too many different sides of the fence on here, which has left me a little confused.
I want a full synthetic for the trans, and im not into amsoil or redline. any ideas?
thanks again!

Stay with Formula+. I have tried them all, and nothing beats Formula+. No possible corrosion issues, good clutch action, and 10,000 miles between changes, although I still go 5000. Good luck.

truth is you cant go wrong with the factory fluids but many to most people can not fight the urge to use other fluids (like me).
