FoxBansheeRacing Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 How often do you guys change your transmission oil in terms of hours? Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 For me about every three good rides. I know thats kinda generic but not sure on hours. Buy good rides I mean a day thing where I ride awhile on that day. Quote

Buy good rides I mean a day thing where I ride awhile on that day. Same here. I buy it by the case so it is a little cheaper and keep fresh oil in it. Quote
Patriot Racing Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 A wet clutch lasts longer with good fresh oil!!!!! Quote
spoin39 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 I change mine about every 20 hrs.+ or -. Use a good oil that is made for trans in a 2-stroke. I like REDLINE LIGHTWEIGHT SHOCK PROOF gear oil myself but any good trans oil is OK. Quote
stials11 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 BEL-RAY 80WT is a really good brand to use along with all there other products. It's a little more spendy but quality is always worth it in the end. Quote
evil Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 every 16 hours of riding, figure i go out every sunday, hammer down for at least 8 hours of riding at a time then change it out and keep going. im with stials, i use bel ray gear saver 80 wt. i figure i have that much money in a motor, the added extra cost is worth it.

FoxBansheeRacing Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Posted January 10, 2004 Would any gas station have that or would I have to get it or order it from my dealer? I think the guy that had my Banshee before me always ran AmsOil. Quote
00BANSHEE Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 All the dealers amd cycle part stores around here have Bel-Ray on the shelf. Quote
thecabinboy Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 I use Honda HP gear oil for the CR. but I was at the Autoparts store and they had 80wt gear oil for 2.09 by Mobile. Think there is any difference? Quote
Yamahammer Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 I use the belray gear saver also about the same every third outing.. i met a guy this last ride that uses regular tranny fluid for a car i dont know if i would but claims been doing it for years and no problem.. Quote
rebelbanshee2 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 I used ATF (make sure its type F) once becasue i knew i was going to be tearing down after the ride and its only like a buck a quart. it shifted pretty slick with it but it needs to be changed after every ride, doesnt hold up well. I normaly use golden spectro 80w change it every 15-20 hours. Quote
sandman121383 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Posted January 10, 2004 i run 80wt gear oil and sometimes i uise a little lucas oil oil additive Quote
blk02banshee Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 I let mine go for a year, and just changed it... It was as clean and clear as the day I put it in there. Quote
Oilsmoke Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 I think it's Wise to Change your Oil after every Good ride. A wet clutch lasts longer with good fresh oil!!!!! -------------------- -Backcountry "Ride hard, Ride often" I can't agree more, Nothing beats Clean Motor oil . The cost is right too. I use Castrol GTX 10/40. I used motor oil of over 30 Year Quote
