The Wiziard from Wales is right about ATF being possible. I also found that Silkolene Light Gear Oil 75sae was a very good oil in my 315. There was a little clutch stick once started up and cold, but soon freed off, and as the engine warmed, this sticking went and the clutch was fine with no squealing that you can get on other bikes.

Should i try and get a fully synthetic one - 75W??

PJ1 works well for me, cheap enough and easy to find.

Im my opinion DON'T use Castrol MTX I think it is, I put some in last week and it took about an hour to warm up enough to get rid of the clutch drag.

Which one would you suggest??

Two stroke gear oil (80w) - 1 litre bottle

Two stroke gear oil - light 75w - 1 litre bottle

Atf dextron3 works well,you can get 5litres for about

Martin Belair suggested Mobil One synthetic or PJ 75w clutch tuner if you don't go with the ELF. We have used the Mobil stuff across four teambikes (315r's) since 02 without issue.

Cheers

I use the 75W one.

why not use elf , montesa dont say use it for no reason? they are even sponsered by repsol!!

i buy elf end of . atf is ok but atf gears are not the same nor are their clutches. sandifords use who their oil sponser is.

Becaue its

And the only people i know who sell it are bvm wheras if i forget (which i often do) and need some in a hurry, PJ1 (or ATF I suppose) is available over the counter at 3 motorbike shops within 25 miles. (and 25 miles is good for me as i live 10 miles from any 'town' of sorts!)
