Works good and doesn't cost that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieSquid Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I also run ATF with no problems I guess Type F is common. I use type F (remember it has to be an oil designed for WET clutches) I never had any problems. I guess its a preference thing. I use type F cause its cheaper and allows me to change my fluid every so many rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerbanshee Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) I run the Yamalube 10w-30. I tried the 10w-40 and a couple different Maximas. 10w-30 is definitely the way to go, anything thicker will cause clutch creep unless it's really hot where you ride. I never tried transmission fluid though. A lot of people say they run it with no problems, but if you don't change your fluid often I would say go with the Yamalube and don't worry about it. By hot I mean 100 degrees or more. Edited October 2, 2009 by killerbanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
