cdn280 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) Dexron auto transmission fluid. GasGas recommends it for a lot of models. Its thin, but the clutch doesn't drag as much as with 10w-30 or whatever. Edited January 30, 2006 by cdn280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arieltt Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Another good reason to get it sorted is that the gearbox oil lubricates the main crank bearings. Not cheap to replace and you'll have to dismantle the whole engine. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuel/oil mix is what lubricates everything in the crank area. Oil in the transmission and clutch is separate. Crank main bearing lubing is the biggest stumbling block in direct injection 2strokes. Once that is solved, 4strokes will be dead again.

cdn280 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 'tis true... the gearbox oil lubes the crank bearings. Another good reason for changing the gearbox oil regulaly. Make sure it is ATF Dexron3... very cheap at the moment at Texaco garages. They take approx 400ml and a 500ml bottle from the texaco garages are 75p a time...The Pro does sometimes have a few problems with the gear selector spring breaking off and if it does jam into the gear teath of the clutch it will get ground up and travel around like grinding paste !! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WOW ! Are other manufacturers doing this too ? Let the injection begin ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arieltt Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Both R2W and I know it to be true as we have both had the pleasure of viewing the inside of my 2003 Pro engine. To be avoided... Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmat Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 im changing the mains on my 1993 GG at present, and there are galleries that allow oil to go behind the main bearing and lubricate it, using the house steam cleaner to clean my casings before the new bearings go in !!

I don't even know if you can buy dexronII in north america... what kinds of cars you brits have running around there. (don't answer I will just get jealous) Its probably ok, but gasgas recommends III so... I've had a few 2 strokes since the 70's and atf is all I have used.

cdn280 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Thanks for offering up the info Heath?? I haven't dug that deep into my Pro motor yet and I didn't even have to ask. Interesting design. Do you know if others are doing the same ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
