Title: -07 UP 6-SP and transmission lubricant
Post by: xlfan on May 11, 2019, 03:55:34 AM
Is there any good reasons for NOT using 80/90w GL-5 transmission lubricant in the OEM -07 up six-speeds?

Likewise, is there any good reasons for NOT using primary oil in the -07 up primary drives?

I like and follow Jon on IG and You Tube, but I take exception to the comment that Harley makes it's own Gear Oil. As we all know, Harley presents specs and the oil is refined. I'm going with Sepctro or back to AmsOil.
