DNM....have you changed your tranny fluid yet? I went with Amsoil 75-90 gear oil at my 1K service. I believe the combo of the fluid change and getting some miles on the bike (and attribute a little to pipes) has made my 5th gear (previously fairly whiney) as quiet as the rest. I never had any 6th gear whine.

This will be my first go at Amsoil.
I'm not really anal about oils, i use synthetic now, so i figured i'll give it a try.
My bike is a 94 fxdwg.

Amsoil does not make the oil filter for your bike. I assume it is a non US model. The stock number for the oil you need is MCV 20w 50. They may have some of the older AMV 20w 50 still in stock. If so feel comfotable about using it as it was a great product before Amsoil reformulated the newest version a few years ago.

Sorry I took so long to answer this as it got by me. I don't think that there would be a noise reduction for that tranny just by going to a little thicker gearlube, but you can try if you like and report back.

George, I have a preferred customer account with AMSOIL and was wondering if your prices are any lower than what I'm paying now.

NO I can't help you with prices once you have a PC account that wasn't set up through me. Thanks for asking though.

Another thumbs up for George and AMSOIL. I just recently got a case from them. UPS guy dropped the box when he delivered it causing a couple of bottles to leak. He replaced them.
Thanks George!

VERY helpful on the phone and a pleasure to do business with. Please make sure he knows you're a Doof when you order.
He'll use little words and everything!

Called George Monday afternoon to order the same. He happened to be on vacation so I apologized, told him I was in no hurry and that I'd give him a call later. He was gracious enough to take my order anyway. Got an email from him the next morning indicating a Friday delivery. My order was at my door last night. Thanks George!!

I just have to add too what everyone else has wrote... I've been getting my Oil from George for many years now... George is an upstanding guy... always very informative and he always responds back to me within an hour... and every order arrives usually within a day at kick ass prices..!! I use Amsoil in my Truck.. my bike and my tractor... My Dad loved the stuff and used it for years in everything he owned.. I wouldn't use anything else.. THANKS GEORGE for your awesome service.. !!

Thanks for all the comments, but all I try to do is give the service I would like and expect from any manufacture or sales rep. I have to give a lot of credit to the staff at Amsoil from the order takers to the warehouse folks as no matter how good the products or service is, if they don't do their part we wouln't be receiving these comments. Again thanks for all your past and future business.
