bansheeyfz Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 just got back from my dealer and they told me to use honda's 2-stroke racing transmission oil its 80/85w. They say they use that in all there 2 strokes. But before my other edaler said to use Motul 10/30w 4 stroke transmission oil. I stumped will the honda oil work just as good. BTW the book says to use 1.6 us quarts. but i heard to dumped in a full 2 quarts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssanddemon Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) I used Honda HP-2 for a while but got tired of spending the $$$; changing oil after every few rides it added up fast. Started using JD-20 tractor oil since I get it for free, works great. Seems like every guy here runs something different in the trans, from 80 wt. to ATF. It all works, but the key is to change very often if the bike is running in the dunes due to clutch fiber contamination. If I were running in the woods, the Honda stuff would high on my list of good oils and I would change it every 20 rides or so. P.S. The book sez 1.5 qts. but most guys run 2 qts to better lubricate the clutch rod and ball. Edited October 19, 2006 by ssanddemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
