April 13, 201313 yr I'm picking up an 85-86 300 Trial Pro tonight, what trans oil is prefered and what ratio should the gas oil mix be? The previous owner used 50:1 and automatic transmissin oil, also I have some 5 year old Maxima 2 stroke oil that I used on an old Maico, is this safe to use in the Fantic?
April 14, 201313 yr I use Specific wet clutch gear oil , Not a fan of ATF in old fantics , currently using Redline 80w motorcycle gear oil with great results . Used Silkoline light gear oil previously with good results and clutch action . 1st thing on fuel !!!! keep any thing with ethanol away from your bike !!!Run at least 93octane ethanol free fuel to save yourself future heartaches . I use Amsoil dominator two stroke premix oil (synthetic) @ 70 :1 with aviation fuel . (110 octane and you can store it almost forever without it going bad). And if my memory still works , I think the gear box holds 500cc of gear oil . There is either a site glass or a level check screw on the clutch side case of the 300's. And Mike @ the tryals shop in Locke , New York is your best connection for Fantic stuff here in the states . Have fun with the old girl .... Got to go grocery shopping now and then do some more work on my "NEW" 97 section ... Glenn
