rynb15 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 I need to change the oil on my shee. I have been using belray 80w. I have some honda 20-40 racing 4 stroke oil from another bike i have. Would this be ok? I can get the bel ray i just have the honda oil sitting on my shelf. Thanks for the imput :biggrin: Quote
jbooker82 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 That 20-40 oil might be a little thick. You wont have a problem with it causing your clutch to slip because it probably is designed for a wet clutch system. I think that the shifting wouldnt be as good do to the heavyness of the oil. Bel Ray 80w oil realy isnt an 80w oil. When you get a quart of bel ray next time shake the 20-40 then shake the quart of bel ray 80w. The 20-40 engine oil will feel way stiffer and thicker. I would just keep running Bel Ray Gear Saver if it was me. Quote

Dead Op Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 I run Rotella 85w in my tranny no problems here :thumbsup: Quote
Satsol67 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 I think the key to it is picking one that you like and stick with it. I use belray as well. just my O2. Quote
jbooker82 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 I run Rotella 85w in my tranny no problems here :thumbsup: You use Rotella 85w as in 80w-90 gear oil for automobiel rear axles? That stuff is way thick. I bet if you switched to Belray 80w gear saver oil you would never go back. It really isnt an 80w weight oil. When you shake the jug it feels a litter thicker than ATF. Quote
