[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 327657, member: 17066"] A testament to ATF as a gear oil.In 2000 i helped out a UK championship rider on a KTM125sx-we ran ATF F for over 100 hours.The piston broke eventually and the engine was stripped-no clutch wear-we put in some new alu plates-basket was still good.All gears fine.Dogs fine.Main bearings and crank were replaced as a matter of precaution.All gearbox bearings were kept.That bike went onto do at least another 50 hours of extreme use.He was harder on an engine that you would beleive-i have no mechanical sypathy at all but it made me wince to hear that thing screaming for each 45 minute session.It must have done about a million gearchanges.It had new ATF every ride.If you dont want to run it fine-no one wants you to if your not happy ,but you might be spending more than you need and on the KTMs we had better shifting in winter. :scream: BTW you can run sythetic ATF in your forks/shocks and on ktms in the clutch-I personally would go out and buy a bottle of that KTM clutch fluid for $20 as it is obviously so much better-not [/QUOTE]
