Hi All,
Switched from Yamalube to Rotella T6 about 500 miles ago. I'm noticing a bit clunkier shifts and when down shifting at low speeds coming to a stop the gear box will get hung up. For example, I'm going 50 in 5th gear and come up to a red light I'll generally engine brake to say 2k rpm then do my downshifts. Sometimes, not all the time the gear box won't allow the downshifts. Is this the oil or something else? I know several have had success with Rotella. I've ran it in past bikes with no problems. Bike has 2700 miles on it and the oil was changed at 2200. Looking forward to your thoughts and advice.
