ive just got a 2005 ,125 gas gas for my daughter she loves it ,well they are pretty good the clutch is grabbing a bit when cold but what sort of oil should be in there

Hi

ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Dexron III

-Jan

Assuming everything is mechanically sound, If you want it to be less grabby(slower enguagement) , using GM autoTrakII transfer case fluid (blue in color) works better than ATF. I recently ran out of the autotrak and used ATF, onl;y to remember why the autotrak is prefered. I think most novice riders would benefit from it. Experts and pro's tend to like a fast clutch and use ATF. The downside is that it costs more than ATF.

so it either the red atf fluid or the blue stuff

thanks very much fellas

Seconded ATF works fine but can feel a bit grabby.

GG USA recomends:

"

GAS GAS RECOMMENDATIONS

Spark Plug

NGKBP5RES, Champion RN11YC, Bosch Platinum WR9DP

Trans/Clutch Oil

Always 5W30 (Not 10W40), 350cc for the Pro, 650cc for other models, normal motor oil (Castrol/Penzoil etc). It is not recommended to use synthetic oil.

Gasoline

95 Octane minimum. No alcohol type blends. (Jim uses Sunoco purple 115 octane 20% to Shell unleaded premium 80%).

Premix

Between 80:1 and 100:1

Brake Fluid

DOT 4 is standard. DOT 5 is fine. (All higher numbers mix with lower numbers)."

I'm tempted to try the 5W30 myself next oil change.

Hmm... this sounds like 2002 recommondations.

First: The 02 Pro used 350cc gearoil. From 03 its about 550cc.

Second: 5W30 (pure mineral oil - no synthetic) is ok but I think GasGas USA now recommends ATF Dexron III

Third: AFAIK DOT 5 brake fluid DOES NOT mix with DOT 4!!??
