April 17, 200719 yr maxima 75 wt. wet clutch oil, extra light, works like a charm!..........................john
April 18, 200719 yr power steering fluid Now that's a new one! uhh !!! i thought everyone used it !!!!
April 18, 200719 yr maybe you can make more sense of this than i can !!!! Typical Properties Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF Viscosity, ASTM D 445 cSt @ 40
April 19, 200719 yr It basically means that at 100C the viscosity is 8wt !!!!! Makes for a pretty quick clutch! Spec is 10-40! different rating, but basically 40wt oil Finding the "sweet spot" on slipping the clutch is important and this could make things a bit too grabby. But it is all personal taste as far as I can make it. The 2T gear oils are rated differently, such as the Maxima MTL 75wt equiv. Typically, a thicker oil will give you more progressive response from the clutch, but it also has a lot to do with what the rider wants, as a PRO wants things to happen "right NOW" and you may just pop yourself right on the old butt! And that is all I have to say about that! Edited April 19, 200719 yr by copemech
April 19, 200719 yr my bike and the nephews beta sold today , so cabby upgrade is definately going ahead . maybe i shouldnt use the same oil in the 290 until i get used to it
