Redline is the best, and i don't doubt him. I like to change early and often however, and prefer Amsoil 20-50 synthetic in both compartments. It's $20 gallon and i don't have to plan ahead to have it on hand.

I swear by Redline as you've seen me in other posts. The stuff is amazing.

I have used with good success so far Mobil1 red cap in the motor and Motul Gearbox oil. I just recently switch to Amsoil and I can say I am impressed so far bike seems to run a little cooler.

Motul engine, Motul gearbox, Motul coolant and Motul cleaning products.

WD40 for the chain and that "wet look" on the plastics.

As Ryan said, I run Redline, 10w40 in the motor and Shockproof in the tranny. I've been using the Superlight Shockproof, I think most everyone else uses Lightweight.

I've been really impressed with the Shockproof, it sticks to everything and stays there. I was also told a long time ago that the engineers at Cannondale liked the Redline.

I'm no oil expert though, and I imagine any high quality synthetic will do just fine.
