New AMSOIL Motorcycle Primary and Transmission Fluid

Written by Ches Cain

Another new product for the Sioux Falls store based on years of requests. AMSOIL introduces both a Synthetic transmission fluid and a primary chaincase fluid.

While AMSOIL still recommends the original suggestion (MCV 20W-50 in all three) these satisfy those who want to use a specific fluid for the application. Comparing viscosities the new transmission fluid is similar to a 75W-110 gear oil in weight but has the same enhancements as our legendary motorcycle oils such as additives for storage and high RPM.  The Primary lube follows the line of the 10W-40 weights allowing for easier clutch and shifting performance.

V-Twin Synthetic Transmission Fluid promotes formation of a durable oil film on bearings and gears, helping to dampen loud thunks when shifting and reduce gear noise.

Motorcycle Transmission Fluid

AMSOIL V-Twin Synthetic Transmission Fluid is specifically designed for bikers who prefer a dedicated transmission fluid over a multi-use lubricant. Its frictional properties deliver smooth shifts and it helps quiet transmission noise, letting riders focus on enjoying the ride. V-Twin Synthetic Transmission Fluid is Warranty Secure™ and will not void your motorcycle’s warranty. It is a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fluids.

Promotes Quiet Operation
V-Twin Synthetic Transmission Fluid promotes formation of a durable oil film on bearings and gears, helping to dampen loud thunks when shifting and reduce gear noise.

Protects Against Gear and Bearing Wear
Extreme pressures between gear teeth can shear inferior transmission fluids, reducing viscosity and compromising wear protection. AMSOIL V-Twin Synthetic Transmission Fluid resists viscosity loss due to shear and withstands extreme heat for excellent wear protection. Its robust molecules provide film strength to protect against damage from shock loading, while it contains extreme-pressure additives for additional protection against wear.

Delivers Smooth Shifts
V-Twin Synthetic Transmission Fluid’s finely tuned viscometrics and frictional properties provide smooth shifts, helping riders avoid missed shifts for crisp acceleration through each gear. It provides riders confidence that their transmission is going to respond as intended for an improved ride.

  • Protects against gear and bearing wear
  • Delivers smooth shifts
  • Helps eliminate loud thunks and gear noise

APPLICATIONS
Harley Davidson®, Triumph® and pre-2013 INDIAN® bikes.

Delivers consistent clutch feel for confident takeoffs Helps prevent clutch slip Provides smooth acceleration Helps riders easily find neutral Protects compensator bearing, chain and gears against wear

Primary Chaincase Oil

AMSOIL V-Twin Synthetic Primary Fluid is purpose-built for bikers who prefer a dedicated primary chaincase lubricant. Its balanced formulation delivers consistent clutch feel for confident takeoffs, helping riders avoid killing the engine. It also protects components against wear to help riders get the most out of their bikes. V-Twin Synthetic Primary Fluid is Warranty Secure™ and will not void your motorcycle’s warranty. It is a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fluids.

Delivers Consistent Clutch Feel & Smooth Acceleration
V-Twin Synthetic Primary Fluid is formulated with a balanced additive system that provides consistent clutch performance and feel. It helps riders easily find neutral and promotes smooth acceleration, whether in stop-and-go city conditions or when on the highway. Its superior load-holding capacity helps prevent clutch slip for confident takeoffs.

Protects Against Chain, Gear & Bearing Wear
V-Twin Synthetic Primary Fluid contains a heavy dose of anti-wear additives to protect the gears, chain and compensator bearing from premature wear. Its superior film strength helps protect against shock-loading, promoting reduced wear and longer component life.

Helps Reduce Operating Temperatures
In extreme heat, V-Twin Synthetic Primary Fluid’s thermally stable synthetic formulation naturally resists the harmful effects of thermal breakdown. It helps components stay cool and achieve optimum performance and life.

Maximizes Energy Efficiency
V-Twin Synthetic Primary Fluid’s balanced formulation reduces energy lost to drag in cold-temperature riding conditions. It promotes smooth shifts at startup and maximizes energy efficiency.

  • Delivers consistent clutch feel for confident takeoffs
  • Helps prevent clutch slip
  • Provides smooth acceleration
  • Helps riders easily find neutral
  • Protects compensator bearing, chain and gears against wear

APPLICATIONS
Harley Davidson®, Triumph® and pre-2013 INDIAN® bikes.

The Value of Consistent Clutch Feel – Dirt Bike Oils

Written by Ches Cain

It’s well-known that racing is one of the ways AMSOIL motor oils are tested, proven and fine-tuned to become the exceptional products we stand behind. We don’t invest in racers simply to put the AMSOIL brand in front of fans; AMSOIL racers become technical partners.

The development of new AMSOIL Synthetic Dirt Bike Oil, introduced last month, offers a perfect example. AMSOIL-sponsored supercross and motocross racers identified consistent clutch feel as a key performance attribute on the track. At the time, there was no dirtbike- specific oil on the market that provided the level of clutch consistency professional and amateur riders need. Consistent clutch feel is critical to riders during race starts to keep the bike from lurching forward prior to the gate dropping. Trail riders, meanwhile, need consistent clutch feel to confidently navigate obstacles without having to shift gears and lose momentum.

Better Clutch Feel

Dirt Bike oils for clutch!

Armed with that information, AMSOIL engineers went to work. Clutch feel is inherently subjective, which creates challenges in designing a lubricant that delivers this benefit. To overcome that challenge, AMSOIL designed an extreme simulated-start test for dirt bikes. The test allows AMSOIL engineers to apply accelerated stress to a dirt bike’s clutch in order to monitor clutch feel produced by a candidate lubricant.

AMSOIL Synthetic Dirt Bike Oil was also subjected to extensive ontrack testing in the bikes of GEICO/ AMSOIL/Honda Factory Connection and other professional riders. This combination of rider feedback and lab testing resulted in the final formulation of AMSOIL Synthetic Dirt Bike Oil.
