BOOZER2009 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Which trans oil do I use? the manual says 10/30 or 10/40. I can't remember. I use elf oil in my dirtbike so thats what I was gonna use. But they were out of it until next week so the guy sold me honda 80w/85w for 2 stroke and 4 stroke trans. Is this OK to use?

fastbanshee8 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Type F ATF works well, but it doesn't last as long, and it's cheap also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheesandrider Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 What you bought will work, but when I ran that in my bike it shifted like crap. I run the Klotz Flex Drive 30, Klotz part number KL506, it shifts very smooth,and it holds up very well. All the other oils I have tried would have metal particles in it when I drained it out, but the Klotz never does. I have a Trail Tech Vector on my bike which has a hourmeter on it and I change it every 20 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftdT4R Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 i like the bell ray gear saver myself!! used it for years. I second that, good stuff. As a side not STAY AWAY from 10w30, 10w40 and any kind of motor oil. The new motor oil has friction modifiers in it which will toast the clutch in a couple of minutes. I had this happen to my on my YZ a few years back. Clymers reccomended 10w40 motor oil, so I used that, and 5 minutes later, no more clutch.

bansheesandrider Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) You can use 10-30 or 10-40 oil as long as it is a motorcycle/ATV specific oil, they are formulated with a wet clutch in mind. I have been using the Klotz oil for about 16 years and have never had a gearbox problem. Edited January 17, 2010 by bansheesandrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lue by u Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I tried type f and toasted my already weak clutches. So I switched to belray gear saver and havent had a problem yet. With the new hd tusk clutch and belray this quad is amazing now. Never realized how bad the clutches were slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
