Primary chaincase oil is specifically formulated to protect wet clutches and primary chains from slip and wear under high loads, which regular engine oil is not designed to do effectively.

Will this fluid help with a slipping clutch?
This lubricant is formulated to help prevent clutch slipping and chatter. If you are experiencing a slipping clutch, ensuring you have the correct and fresh primary fluid can often help, but always inspect your clutch components for wear if the problem persists.

EVERYTHING is Better With Bel-Ray!
I been changing my own Harley Fluids almost 30 years! I changed my Harley bikes to Bel-Ray a few years back, I'm now Bel-Ray in my Trans, Primary and engine oil from my Classic EVO to my modern M8 . <br />The Bel-Ray products improved everything from offering the lowest top end valve noise using the Motor Oil to less 1st gear clunk and smooth like BUTTER shifting to NOW SUPER EASY finding Neutral. Everything is better with Bel-Ray my now #1 Fluids of choice from my Classic to modern Harley!

Excellent fluids
I love these Belray fluids for the primary specific oil and the transmission specific oil engine oil run whatever you want but for the primary and transmission fluid made by Belray I feel it is very good fluid as the bike shifts smoother doesn't clunk near as hard when you drop it in first gear. I've been running this stuff for years and years and I've never had any primary or transmission issues
