J-Madd Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 I'm changing the oil in my stock banshee. I usually run 10w30 or 30w regular oil, but I have some synthetic here. I think it's ok, but wanted to check. Not wanting opinions on the best oil to use. This a beatdown ugly stock bike but it still smokes 450s. Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 5w30 mobil 1 full synth is what I use Quote
J-Madd Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks. Just making sure synth didn't mess with the clutch. Quote
bansheegoon Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 I use belray gear saver 80W. I hear a lot of people using atf and 10w30 but I wouldn't recommend it. Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 I run Advance Auto Parts 10W40 in ours. Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 I use belray gear saver 80W. I hear a lot of people using atf and 10w30 but I wouldn't recommend it.Why? Quote
bansheegoon Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Why? Because its not what is recommended. Cheap is a fast way to go broke when it comes to banshees. Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Because its not what is recommended. Cheap is a fast way to go broke when it comes to banshees.Well then, I better drain all my motors and call up everyone that hasn't had a problem and tell them to stop being cheap. Quote

Cheap is a fast way to go broke when it comes to banshees. Wow, I guess Yamaha should change their Owner's Manual. "Recommended oil: Yamalube 4 (10W30) or SAE 10W30" Quote
bansheegoon Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Wow, I guess Yamaha should change their Owner's Manual. "Recommended oil: Yamalube 4 (10W30) or SAE 10W30" Doesn't say anything about atf. I stand corrected about sae 10w30. I'll be saving some coin on future oil changes. Quote
J-Madd Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Posted May 12, 2013 I ended up putting oreilly 10w30 in it and put the synthetic in the 700 Raptor. Funny, the clutch acts worse with the new oil, but it won't matter for the 450s I'm gonna stomp at Leerjak memorial weekend on the play track. Quote
Junkyshee Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 Me and all my buddies run ATF in ours, never had any trouble out of any of them.... Quote
Zillaguy Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 I run Klotz Flexdrive synthetic racing 2-stroke transmission fluid... But anything that is "wet clutch compatible" will work. I just prefer Klotz.. Quote
