stump magnet Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Or what , Right so 450cc is 450ml.Just need to double check before i blow my bike up <{POST_SNAPBACK}> good god what is the world coming too!!! i usually stick 500cc (or 500ml or 0.5 litre) just to be on the safe side of having a bit more oil for serious clutch abuse.

beta_basher Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Dozey me, What Gearbox Oil Do You Recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Arron you really do need to pay attention more at school . I use motul and it seems fine(plus dealer just gave me a load free), its all pretty much the same stuff. I had good results with motorex in my sherco, and i someties used silkolene but im not so keen on that stuff, no reason just a thing i have. Remember engine oil isn't gearbox oil.

lewis_gasgas Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Not sure about sherco but i know on gas gas Motul Eats the plates in the gearbox so im not going to use that i know the bikes are fairly simialar engine wise so might be advisable to try something else. For the Gasser im using ATF dexron which is what GG reccomend maybe you should try it they say it reduces clutch drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdenzil Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Sherco (MRS) recommend IPONE Synthetic is available from most well stocked trials shops and after 3 bikes, this has never let me down. Clutch is well light and with long levers is much easier to ride!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanium Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 My 05 Beta worked best with plain old Castrol GTX 10-30. Never could tell a difference as compared to the expensive stuff. However, I did try some ATF and when it got hot the clutch slipped badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I have been running a little experiment of late, using the Mobil 1 synthetic ATF for the last month. No ill effects that I can detect. Maybe slightly quicker action as compared to the stock IPONE stuff. Some may like that! Plates still stick after sitting, but seem to break loose quickly!
