I use Maxima MTL Ultra Light 75wt in mine, smooth shift and no squeal from the clutch no matter how much use it gets. I put in 900ml when I do an oil change.

2-Strokes take gearbox oil?
Spectro Clutch Saver, because the name makes me feel like it saves my clutch!

I changed my 2006 EC gearbox oil to a Rock 'Light' oil just after i first got it. Ive had no clutch problems at all, apart from some drag (Like all GG's suffer from what i read), so all good there and ive just purchased a couple more litres.
Some people suggested 900ml - some said to just pour the whole 1 litre in...... Which is rightly or wrongly what i did ! Ive done a couple, or perhaps three: 100 mile rides since then (Approx 15 hours riding) maximum. Should i be changing again about now, or whats the 'normal' frequency ?????? Also - has anyone experimented with LESS than 900ml of gearbox oil to try to reduce clutch drag ??? [I gather this is a very common trick with GG Trials bikes]. Cheers.

I have had very good luck with using half ATF and half synthetic 5w-40 diesel engine oil. I like its performance better than many cycle trans oils (great clutch action without the drag) and it is considerably less expensive than cycle trans oil.

900.ml is what the manual calls for.......in my 99 EC 200. Motul Transoil works for me........I have moved on to Rock Oil as well.

People in general just dont ride as hard as they used too.This has more to do with availability of riding areas and proximity to them.Also there is a different mentality these days,where looks seem to trump the actually riding.So these intervals will vary. Two schools of thought also.Some riders prefer to use more expensive gear box oils and change it out less often.Others go the cheaper route,relatively speaking of course this is not a good place to cheap out,and change the gear box oil more frequently.Myself,.and most I ride with like to change the gear box oil often and dont use that fancy crap.In the end it comes down to viscosity at max operating temps and the breakdown of the oil you use combined with friction wear and other contaminants. It should always look clean,feel slick and smell right,yep the old pull it off the dipstick with your index finger and thumb and rub them together and give it a smell style.Unless of course you have a fancy hour meter which really wont tell you much since 6 hours from rider A could be equal to 20 hours from rider B.The condition of the oil itself, how the clutch feels when you are hammering it down and how long the clutch lasts will tell you the most.Not just the friction plates but the entire clutch will tell the story. |
