zoomered Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi all, newbie here and just bought my very first trials bike. I will have lots of stupid question so please bear with me!! Bike has been sitting for a while, only used 4 times in last 2 years so I am planning on replacing brake fluid, clutch, and gear box oil. I am unsure if the bike is 06 or 07 as the previous owner said it was an 06 but the manual it came with is an 07? Anyway I can tell and are they pretty much the same? What Gearbox oil should i be running as i can't seem to find the one stated in the manual online.. Anything else you guys would recommend me doing? All help and pointers appreciated! Cheers, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnh Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 450 millilitres of dexron3 auto transmission fluid for the gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pindie Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) I use the expensive but long lasting Putoline Nano trans gear box oil. 500ml each time Edited May 9, 2012 by pindie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallymadsam Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think most would recommend a Putoline or similar brand 'Light gear Oil' 75W. http://trialstribulations.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1506 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
