BansheeBrian Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 (edited) ATF type F seems to be a favorite.I have not heard anything bad about it. Too much tranny oil may cause some slippage. may want to stick with the 1.8qt or for just a change 1.6qt.

sredish Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I use Silkolene Comp Gear. *A race proven, synthetic based gear oil for off road competition bikes. It is also ideal for road and race machines with separate gear lubrication. *Effective over a wide temperature range, it gives smooth gear changes, postive clutch action and reduces wear, especially where aluminium clutch plates are used. *Can be used wherever SAE 10W/40, 80W or 90W oils are recommended A lot of people use the ATF and some use 10W30, but I like something specifically designed for the wet clutch application. It may be nothing more than a sticker on the bottle and higher price tag, but it makes me feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TREELIZARD Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 i use 2qts of atf type F. i have read somewhere before that the little bit of extra oil helps prevent welding the clutch ball to the rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
