haha ok you guys are at totally different ends of the rainbow here!!! One is using ATF the other is using 80W gear oil?? I have been using straight 30W but was thinking of switching... maybe i should hold a poll of what everyone else uses.... not whats 'proper'.... |

Ok I was thinking 80w automotive differential oil when i read it, and I always thought atf was way too thin but hey if you guys use it then obviously its not!! I will likely try the 20w50. Thanks |

Would a guy notice a difference in power if he switched to atf or is that unlikely? Also I never knew about the oil check bolt... i always just looked through the filler hole and guessed... cool... are all bikes like this or just the red racers? |
