bansheesandrider Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 I run the Klotz Flex Drive 30, part number KL506. My bike shifts the best with it, I have never lost a bearing gear, or had a clutch ball weld on me with it.. In the past I have tried 10-30 motor oil, ATF type F, Hondaline tranny oil, BelRay GearSaver, and a couple of others. With the motor oil, ATF and Honda oils it shifted really crappy. With the motor oil and ATF ihad metallic glitter in the oil when I drained it, I even split the cases looking for a problem but could not find one. Put it back together and ran them again and it was still there, switched to the BelRay and it went away. When my dealer was out of BelRay, I tried the Klotz and it was so much better shifting and no glitter in oil that I have been using it ever since. I stongly recomend finding a good oil and sticking with it, whether it is in the tranny or premix oil. Not all oils are compatible with other oils and if you get the wrong combination from changing oils all the time, you will end up with no lubrication in your motor. When I change brands of oil, I drain it dry. If it is the tranny, I flushed before I put the new stuff in. I use the Klotz R50 as I had problems with carbon buildup and rings sticking in my wife's bike when I was running Benol. Quote
AKheathen Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 oh, yah, that is one thing about atf, it's a high detergent oil that is compatible, so it makes for a good flush aide. either way, runing the new oil change it after like 1/2-1 hrs ridding then after 1-2 rides, then it should be flushed good.

dirtydownunder Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 i use full synthetic agip, i change my oil about every 10hours (if i remember ) Quote
AKheathen Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 me? i change every 2-10 rides; basically whenever i feel like i should, lol. in general- it all depends on the oil and conditions. atf, should be changes every 2-3 rides, and the others can be 5hrs to 5 rides Quote
