Best oils?

[TroyBrock]

I just bought a banshee and I'm going to replace all the fluids in it. I was wondering what oil I should use in the case? what oil and how much should I mix with 93? it's a stock 1987 banshee and what coolant should I use? I might also bleed the brake lines too so what's the best performing brake fluid?

everyone will say something different run what is available at your local store and have fun

[Colby]

Case oil -  10w40  or Automatic Transmission Fluid

 

mix ratio - 32:1 or 40:1 (if your using a quality synthetic, most people will say either Klotz Supertechniplate or Maxima 927)

 

radiator -  75% distilled water, 25% antifreeze

 

brake fluid - anything dot 3 or above

I get everything at Walmart, except my pre mix.

ATF type F

Straight coolant mixed 60/40

Dot 3 brake fluid

These are all the cheap Walmart brand.

i run bel ray or maxima in the trans,

distilled water and like half a gallon of 50/50 green antifreeze, with some water wetter

normal brake fluid

and with tequniplate or maxima 927 2 stroke oil

[Banshee Chad]

Klotz flex drive for gears, techniplate at 40:1 for gas, and whatever coolant at 50/50

fuck atf.

 

if your "budget minded"

 

castrol 4t motorcycle oil

walmart brand outboard tcw3 certified 32-1 in the oil

ONLY dot 3 brake fluid from a fresh container ( it absorbs water) 

distilled water and /or 50/50 green antifreeze.

 

great combo right there.  total would be about 35.00  and thats with a gallon of mix oil.

My favorite is Klotz flex drive, and Klotz super techniplate @ 40:1. 50/50 green antifreeze.

It is a little pricey and there are some more budget minded combos that will definitely work as well. Just my personal preference. I used to run 927...but the Klotz seems a little cleaner burning to me.

Fuck ATF??? ATF works just fine. That all we run out here. That's right Oklahoma has the fastest shit. I forgot.

when i "tried" the atf route.  on the dunes the shit would turn black in one day, the clutch would heat up and grab off the line,  i was always adjusting the clutch freeplay also.

 

went to 4.99 a quart 4t NONE of those issues have come back.  and the bike shifts better.  i barely have to adjust the free play when i'm dragging.  and the clutch heat is much less.

 

it dosn't matter where you live  its just what i run now from experience.  if you want to run atf  so be it.  i wont. that up there is why.  no argument from me

 

klotz flexdrive and klotx super tech IS a bad ass combo.

 

i ran 927 in my pv cheeta and after a few weekends i had to start pulling my pv's out because they would stick  i switched to klotz  havnet had to touch them at all.  it is deff a lot cleaner burning oil

[Banshee Chad]

Not that ATF doesn't work. Sure it's cheaper to buy a quart, but how often do u change it? Ill bet i spend less a year on my half a quart of flexdrive than those changing atf everyother ride. I change my flex drive once a year. And I ride from 115 degree summer to 15 degree winter.

[camatv]

the castrol 4T i run usually lasts 4 dune trips.  most times i change it just cause.  i mean its 12 bucks?  i dumped atf at the dunes on a saturday night because it had completely broken down. 

[10milmike]

I switch it after each trip. Never have problems I buy it by the case 42 bucks. The case last a whole season for me. And I am hard on my clutch and tranny.
