Just wanted to comment on recent experience. A bit handy so I do most of my own work on everything I have especially car boat and bike servicing. Bought a twin cam recently and went to dealer to get some oils. Figured for my first go on this ike I would use what the dealer recommended. He gave me 6 quarts of 20/50 to use in Engine, trans and primary. I didnt get it but I left with the oil.
I was a car dealer mechanic a generation ago and i just couldnt put the 20/50 in my trans or primary. Didnt seem right. 20/50 full synthetic in the engine No Problem. I use full synthetic in all my engines nowadays. Bought some Nulon 75/90 Semi Synthetic for the trans and used it. Less Clunk and smoother shifts. Happy with that decsion. Havent done the Primary yet but wondering if anyone has a better idea than Motor oil for a Clutch Pack Assembly. Seems like if its a wet clutch it would be better with Automatic Trans fluid. Auto transmissions have wet clutch packs and have a similar operation. Have any of you guys used other fluids in your primary's ?
G'day Jersey, I use Mobil 1 V Twin full synthetic in all the holes in my 99 twin cam.

atf is good for da clutch but maybe not to great for da chain i have use it heaps in my own bike's & still do in my race bike pri ,but for normay work i use HPR 40 Premium Penrite it has no friction modify in it , good for the chain & as thick as you would go for a clutch pack no drag & all being using in fellas bike's for years , it get pretty hot in there esp with chrome outer covers etc , iv'e seen some oils come out brown from hot use in da pri , no chain wear with HPR 40 i use it in 1984 & up Sporty's also
