Neal - DON'T use that amsoil 75w-90. We don't recommend amsoil. I think the guy who posted that is an amsoil distributor or something, I can't think of any other reason for him to post that. I don't have anything against Amsoil, I've just never tested it.
We don't recommend any full synthetic oils, they are usually too slippery to work in a clutch properly, and can make it slip. Plus 75w-90 oils are intended for ring and pinion applications and are too thick to let the clutch release properly. We haven't tested that oil, and we've never recommended it. If you want to use an Amsoil product, you can use their ATF fluid, it's intended for use with friction materials. ATF is not as good a lubricant for the chain, and it tends to leak out all your gaskets and o-rings, so most users prefer an oil.
The Golden Spectro is a semi-synthetic and has friction modifier additives in it to work with a clutch. That's the right thing to use, we've tested it, and it's what we sell here and use here. The Bel Ray is also a semi synthetic, seems to work just as well, and it can be easier for some folks to find.
note: Seems bandit machineworks is NOT recommending amsoil gear lube what so ever, It's NOT the right product for big dog wet clutches.
I belive in sharing the info and tell it like it is.
If anyone has any issues with this in terms as if this info is correct.I suggest plz contact john from bandit works website as i did , Straight from the makers of this HIGH END PRODUCT.
