quikshee Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 not as pricey as you think yamalube gets expensive. Your contradicting yourself. Quote
04sand4 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I never thought of using ATF , I've always used Castrol 20/50 in all my bikes and never had any problems. Quote
MAICK Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 don't do it! I already looked into hydraulic oil why whats wrong with it? Quote
AKheathen Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 why whats wrong with it? i can't remember if it has to do with the clutch, gears, or seals, but something made me cringe, as it will damage one of those. i was looking at the chevron iso oils we use at work, and we do chew through pumps, and blow ram seals. it's basically cheap, lightweight oil, with anti-foaming agents. do a google search on the specific oil you were thinking of, and you should find some data on it.
