Haploid gear oil

[Chris]

I have a Vulcan 750 and I filled the final drive with Castrol 80w90 Hypoy C
gear oil. The manual calls for a haploid SAE 80 gear oil, but this was all
I could find.

Is the oil I used likely to cause problems in the drive (it seems to work
fine, but I don't want to mess up the drive unit)?

Haploid? WTF is haploid?

Could you possibly mean hypoid?

Hypoid oil is available in just about any hardware store, auto supply or
motorcycle shop.

Hapliod, I'm not sure of.

This is when your bio-engineered self-replicating
gear oil gets excited and spunks all over your
shop. That would be haploid.

Hapliod, I'm not sure of.

Haploid is a chromosomal state in which there is only one copy of each
chromosome, represented by the designation '1N.' Many fungal and algal
somatic cells exist much of the time in a haploid state. More complex
organisms tend to spend most of their cellular life cycles in the
diploid ('2N') state. Germ cells, however, are always haploid. It is
through sexual reproduction that the diploid state is restored.

Like I said, diploid oil is a sure sign you shaft has fuct. ;-)

He, he. Haploid is a genetic term meaning:

1.. Having the same number of sets of chromosomes as a germ cell or half
as many as a somatic cell.
2.. Having a single set of chromosomes.
Maybe similar to half wit?

It's a special kind of Castor Oil. It uses a special haploid strain of
Castor Beans.

Whatever...I use only Spermecetti oil in my Golddwing.

So does tossing the little shit on the BBQ grill. That's why you club them
before you grill them...it's the other other white meat.

Yes, this will definitely cause problems. The extra set of chromosomes
in the Castrol oil is going to confuse the hell out of your drive
shaft. Change it out quick before you end up with a diploid rear
wheel.

Don't worry. That'll work just fine.
Works good on chains too, that's if you had/have one. :>)
