betabro Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Shell Advanced 10W gear oil is what the Beta dealer recommends. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dextron 3 ATF . They sell it up mole avon about 12 quid for five liters and that will give you 10 changes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the filler plug, allow one just above the water pump on the LHS of the bike if I remember correctly and pour in 500ml of oil. The manual reccomends 550ml but this is after a gearbox rebuild, so doesn't account for any oil stuck to gears or in the clutch etc. Don't fill it to the top, you should be able to see the oil level somewhere in the little window when the bike is on level ground.

shercrazy Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 if you have a beta fill it til the eye glass is 3/4 the way full, i always use maxima 75wt. wet clutch oil and it works great no slip or grab or anything just smooth sailing and you should get 2 changes out of a quart for about $10.00 u.s. i see your profile thing says sherco, that gets 450cc's of fluid i also heard that mobil 1 10w40 was good to use also...............................john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
