jimmyl Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Why not try ATF - available everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Maxima MTL 75, or GRO Extreme 75 are known good options. (Not sure witch you can get there) so I would expect the new Repsol 75 is about the same but still can get ELF here, at least for now...

reggie Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think you should use Repsol oil in a " Montesa Repsol " It just makes sense ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtas Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I got some from local bloke here in Tassie about a month ago. He is a dealer for Independent Oils who imports it. Just have to find a bike shop etc that flogs off ELF products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trial62 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Used ATF in my 315 for years, putting up with clutch drag,till I took out 2 clutch springs and changed to Elf. the results were amazing and my riding also got well, nearly amazing. so in a real dilemma if I can't buy Elf here in Queensland anymore. Going to try Australia wide now. Due to restrictions can't get it from overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have used it it in both 315 and 4rt with completely the opposite effect so maybe the Australian version has different additive packages to European spec - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsawyer Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 4 hours ago, Trial62 said: Used ATF in my 315 for years, putting up with clutch drag ... The solution to clutch drag is dimpled steel plates. I use them with the newer OEM friction plates (your 2015 has them) and Dexron VI full synthetic ATF. Very smooth clutch action with that combination, and better shifting (and finding neutral while stopped) than stock with HTX-740. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatlie44 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have used the Repsol oil it is very good clutch was good and gear change was slick. Ipone box X-TREM is good alternative to elf also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Australian Motorcycle Accessories" https://www.amawarehouse.com.au/ sell Repsol oils maybe they can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trial62 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Apparently no one Australia will import it,too small a market for the quantity they have to order. So back to the next best thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
