bignasty1 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 i think just about any motor oil works there were some post on this earlier so in my guess it would be okay. i hear about ppl using castrol and shit in their bikes so i guess its okey dokey. could be wrong tho. Quote
lian Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 i heard that people would put ams becouse it would get filmy or somthing would that work Quote
Klotz Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Posted November 11, 2003 castrol is terible for the clutch..so i hear..but it is 4 stroke or what ever so yeah that yamalube 4-stroke oil should work right>> Quote
Oilsmoke Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 Hey Klotz Castrol GTX is fine for your tranny. SO is any 4 cycle fourstroke motor oil. Just keep it clean. change it offen. I been using motor oil in my trannys for 30 years. 2 cycle oil is for Premixing or oil injection motors The reason is to oil the Piston rings and rod & crank bearings all the other stuff is lubed by the tranny oil.

Klotz Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Posted November 11, 2003 ok thanks for the help i apretiate it Quote
papa_smurf49319 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 It says in the manual any sae-10w30 4 cycle engine oil will work, or equivelant Quote
spoin39 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 I use REDLINE LIGHTWEIGHT SHOCKPROOF GEAR OIL in mine. Clutch seems to work much better. Quote
psd1 Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 It says in the manual any sae-10w30 4 cycle engine oil will work, or equivelant What he said! When all else fails, read the E'ffin manual or cough up $30 bucks and buy a Clymers and quit wasting everyones time!!! Kidding really! Quote
