ianc Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 maybe you can make more sense of this than i can !!!! Typical Properties Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF Viscosity, ASTM D 445 cSt @ 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) It basically means that at 100C the viscosity is 8wt !!!!! Makes for a pretty quick clutch! Spec is 10-40! different rating, but basically 40wt oil Finding the "sweet spot" on slipping the clutch is important and this could make things a bit too grabby. But it is all personal taste as far as I can make it. The 2T gear oils are rated differently, such as the Maxima MTL 75wt equiv. Typically, a thicker oil will give you more progressive response from the clutch, but it also has a lot to do with what the rider wants, as a PRO wants things to happen "right NOW" and you may just pop yourself right on the old butt! And that is all I have to say about that! Edited April 19, 2007 by copemech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianc Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 my bike and the nephews beta sold today , so cabby upgrade is definately going ahead . maybe i shouldnt use the same oil in the 290 until i get used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
