belfastguzzi Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 about these solid particles though... What are they made of? Anyone any idea? 60862[/snapback] Probably atoms. Maybe electrons and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastguzzi Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 900 miles after putting in the heavy,and not a drop of leakage on my crossover, the gearbox is much quieter, and the shifting is silky smooth, 60901[/snapback] I'm using synthetic, which was fine, but after a surprisingly short time first gear has got crunchy again – difficult to engage from neutral.

joe camarda Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 When my 01 V11 Sport's trannie was in its final days (missed shifts everywhere) I put in RLHD and the transformation was miraculous. Fewer missed shifts, smoother overall. Then my trannie was recalled under warranty, returned to me and shortly thereafter exploded. It was then replaced under warranty. So my new trannie has fewer than 1K miles on it now. It has in it whatever comes from the factory and works just fine... Do you think I should switch to the RLHD now (I really would like to as I recall how smooth it made my old "lop-sided" trannie), or wait several thousand more miles til the new trannie is broke in proper? FWIW, the new trannie works flawlessley! Thanks MGNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikethebike Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I've done 700 plus miles in the past couple of weeks since changing to Heavy, including a couple of early morning starts when the temp has been 5 or 6 C. Haven't noticed any negative effects at these lower temps. Still enjoying the slicker shifting. I'm a believer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGNA sent me a new trannie, to their credit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlaing Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 PHEW! (sigh of relief) I was starting to worry that our trannies would grenade for an unknown reason! Thanks for the reassurance 61002[/snapback] And it is good to know it did not grenade from using redline. I've done 700 plus miles in the past couple of weeks since changing to Heavy, including a couple of early morning starts when the temp has been 5 or 6 C. Haven't noticed any negative effects at these lower temps. Still enjoying the slicker shifting.I'm a believer. Thanks for the reassurance that the redline heavy is good at that temperature. Since I noticed the light feel less than perfect when very hot,(above 100 F) and Mike says the heavy is fine at 5 Celcius, than I shall be switching to heavy.(but I'll wait through the cooler months to get my money's worth out of shockproof light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethebike Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Forgot to mention last time - my neutral light has always been a bit hit or miss, sometimes it works sometimes not. But since using Heavy it comes on every time without fail and the light has never been brighter. So this amazing stuff cures electrical problems as well. Is there no end to its talents? I'm going to start carrying some in a wee bottle and next time I've got a problem I'll just rub the offending part with the elixer and the Redline genie will fix it.

I still get down on my knees every couple of days to check the top of my crossover for a red drop of leakage, but its dry,YES its dry! no leakage at all! back in 2001 I sold my beautiful Rosso Mandello because I got pissed that the tranny had a leak, If I had known about Redline SPH I would still be riding that beautiful machine. Oh well, I love my 2003 naked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently it will splash out when poured in as hits crown wheel/pinion. so might want to put bung in add a bit and then remove bung. I'll look up volumes when I get home if no ones chimes in, but you could measure what comes out and then work from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Barrett Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Yes, sorry I was totally fubar'd off my night shift I forgot to check on getting home. but don't forget the 0.002 for the moly. obviously don't need to add it if using the red line. so makes 0.372 I'm sure it will make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
