ATF is basicly 10 wt oil.And higher quality ATF is good stuff.
A good example of an oil that works and is relatively cheap.So it can be bought in bulk and changed out more often.Just check the clutch once in awhile and see how its looking.You are gonna want to be a precision shifter with a lighter weight oil.Smooth and fully engage the shifter and good clutch work.Same thing when kicking the bike over,nice and smooth.A thicker viscosity oil will give you some cushion between the hard parts in the gear box.The thinner the oil the more exact you have to be when you are working the internals in the gear box.ATF is an old school racers trick,their is less drag in the gear box,but you have to be precise.

I also like Rotella products.
