transmission oil

I am currently running the 10w-30 that the book says but was wondering if I should run a heavier trans oil

We use Type F automatic transmission fluid in our alky Banshees. Works good and doesn't cost that much.

I guess Type F is common. I use type F (remember it has to be an oil designed for WET clutches) I never had any problems. I guess its a preference thing. I use type F cause its cheaper and allows me to change my fluid every so many rides.

I run the Yamalube 10w-30. I tried the 10w-40 and a couple different Maximas. 10w-30 is definitely the way to go, anything thicker will cause clutch creep unless it's really hot where you ride. I never tried transmission fluid though. A lot of people say they run it with no problems, but if you don't change your fluid often I would say go with the Yamalube and don't worry about it. By hot I mean 100 degrees or more.
