Anybody ever hear of this stuff, or use it?

Also how about this?

Read a post in AdvRider that claimed the moly really
smoothed out the shifting.

One guy added the moly additive to plain old GL5
gear lube, another guy swore by the Redline synthetic
stuff with the moly in it.

Being some of our tranny's are balky or notchy shifting,
I thought maybe it would be interesting.

Couldn't find it at Autozone or O'Reilly or NAPA, found all
kinds of Redline oils at Summit Racing, including this one
that might be interesting as it's specifically for notchy or
balky or clunky shifting transmissions.

I use the GD-401 in the tranny and final drive. The bike shifts like buddah!

Me too. But have put 0 miles on the R since May due to some slight health issues. Maybe 2012 will be my year!

Lucus organic (OEM Spec. weight) in the FD with GD-Moly added

Redline Synthetic Super 250w in the trans with GD-Moly added.

Shifts smoother than a baby's behind!
