mixing gear oil??

Spooly: Avoid the 5-30 oils. Avoid anything that says EC or energy conserving. Those are loaded up with things clutches don't like.

5w30 is too thin for this application anyway.

maybe where its 2000 degrees down there but here it's what i use on my bikes

Like I said, if your clutch is happy, everything else will be too. I don't think anyone can ride or keep one of these things long enought to wear out the gears. Primary gears take the biggest hit wearwise. I have yet to see one of them wear out that didnt have a crank case full of coolant.

People I knew put it in street bikes and rode off. The bikes came home on trailers.

Quoting makes more sense than just posting a comment four comments back. :smirk:

I see now that you were commenting on the bikes coming home on trailers. At the time lots of people claimed it wouldn't hurt a thing. I just didn't know anyone that got a good result. Did you ever see the slick 50 demonstration with the little briggs and stratton engine?

I have found that a synth car auto trans fluid works real good in a 2 st gear box. Car auto transmissions are basically like a mc with a wet clutch. Makes finding neutral a little easier. I use Rotella T synth if I dont have the trans oil. Rekluse recommends non synth Rotella. Dont use a vegeatable oil, only use a mineral/dino oil. Too thick an oil will make a bike hard to start in very cold temps.
