POLKY Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 which should i use? everyone says 80w, but it calls for 10w30 why? Quote
watkins Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 It comes down to preference. I use Bel Ray Gear saver 80w as do many others on here. I havent run 10W30 in the shee so I cant really comment on and pro's or con's. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 what ever you choose make sure it's for wet clutches, not just motor oil. Quote
blueshee03 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 what ever you choose make sure it's for wet clutches, not just motor oil. 456111[/snapback] i say gearsaver or any type motorcycle tranny oil.it has been discussed many times on here you should not use automotive type fluids in the tranny .they contain detergents that can cause glazing on the clutches and that leads to clutch problems.

sandman Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 I've had real good luck with Honda gear oil 85/90w. It seems to hold it's color well i.e. doesn't get dirty quickly & my first clutch in my 1990 lasted about 14 years before it had to be replaced. Quote
FlatTrackinIt55 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 id go eith the 80w belray gearsaver. i loved it Quote
batoutofshell Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 yamalube is 20/50 so I would say use what you want, I use a 80w Amoco fully syn gear oil in mine. Quote
Zodo Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 All I've ever used in my banshee is Honda 80w90. When I finally replaced my clutch after 7 years worth of use everything else looked like it was brand new. Quote
