Author Message   Oklep Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 01:42 pm:        Hello guys This is kind of weird topic. I running Motul 20w50 synthetic oil (in primary I have mineral), and this oil smells just like flowers (amazing smell ). But the thing is, when I ride my bike, here and there I can smell it. Basically, when I stop, there is flower aroma around the bike. Is it normal? From where it can come?   Two_seasons Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 02:28 pm:        You are smelling the aroma coming out of the engine venting to atmosphere. I thought Motul smells like bananas.   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 02:31 pm:        IMHO you should run the same oil in your transmission as you run in your engine !!! Reason: If the motor sprocket oil seal goes bad the transmission oil will get into the engine !!!   Oklep Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 02:38 pm:        So it is normal? Great, now I have smelly bike, bitches will love that I guess Buellistic: the thing is, I dont want synthetic in my primary because clutch will slide I think. And also, while our bikes operate in high temperatures, I think that synthetic is much better option   Two_seasons Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 02:45 pm:        I run Harley Davidson Formula+ in my primaries. Amsoil 20W-50 in the engines of all my tubers. Frankly, about the only thing I don't agree on with Buellistic   Phelan Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 03:18 pm:        I understand the reasoning Buellistic shares, but if that happens it's time to park and dump fluids anyway. I run Amsoil 20-50 in the motor and Drag Specialties Gear and Crankcase Oil (for Sportsters and Buells only) in the primary.   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2014 - 06:04 pm:        This has worked for my 1997 S3T as "i" am still running the original STATOR/VOLTAGE REGULATOR(adjust the PRI. CHAIN at 3/4 inch on the chain tight spot), have all the original clutch plates except the SPRING PLATE(aka grenade plate) which was replaced with used plates, ran H-D dinosaur oil eng./trans. to 60K(chgn. eng. oil every 3k/trans 5K) then going to H-D SYN3 to date(chgn. eng. oil every 3k/trans 5K), and as of the last ride it has 111,819.6 miles on it ... Of course a correctly adjusted clutch helps the clutch last longer and a correctly adjusted pri. chain./drive belt helps the trans. to shift at its best ...
