smalley250 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) Olive oil light as it makes youre bike weigh 1kg lighter. Lard is to be avoided at all costs as it makes the clutch drag from cold. ATF is about best and cheapest. Its automatic transmission fluid which you can get from any motorist shop. Its thin and works under extreme loads. Edited December 13, 2007 by smalley250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi there, For the 04 PRO, use either a mineral oil, 10 weight, or an ATF rated to Dexron III, 450 to 500ml after draining the old oil. I usually fill mine up with 500ml. I just worked on a new motor from GG that contained 450ml though probably had about 20 to 50 ml still remaining in the cases. Never use a synthetic oil in the gearbox. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
