WOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOO!!! :thumbsup2:

 

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

Great news! Hope I can say the same soon. Mine goes in next week.

[SpaceMan]

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.

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

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.

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.

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

[Celt]

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.

[jfoster]

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.

Anyone know offhand what the I basket cost if purchased, not under warranty.

[Cougar]

$289.86 with shipping and a new gasket. partshark.com

How do you know which basket you have?

[Cougar]

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.

TDbiker, look at the TOP of SilvrT's Picture and you will notice

the (G) scribed into the basket.

[TDbiker]

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.
