automatic transmission fluid
i have used it before- it is cleaner than regular oil,but i suggest using a new synthetic oil, they have came a long way!!----try klotz,the 2stroke oil is great and am hearing great news about the 4stroke oil,im going to use it in my 200x when it is done :cool:

Automatic Transmission Oil. Works well as the wet clutch system in your bike is fairly close to the set-up in most Automatic Transmissions in most vehicles since the early 60's.

However, you also have a very small set of gears that put up with violent on-off power changes and have to survive in an unfiltered lubricant enviroment while being under constant metal-to-metal contact. (unlike the tranny in your truck)

The Synthetics have come a long way and while pricey they seem to provide excellent protection for the clutch and transmission and resist the heat from a long gnarly uphill way better than the 10-40 I used to run.

It's a two-stroke.

NGK B8ES for the plug, get a few extra and put them in the crossbar pad.

Valvoline 20-50wt. conventional oil or any name brand synthetic type oil for the tranny. Replace it after every hard day of riding!

Clean and replace the air filter with a proper one :) , K&N if you plan on keeping it, or any of the good foam ones if you don't.

50:1 ratio with premium or race gas to a good brand of 2-stroke oil, Yamalube 2 R, Klotz 50R, none of the conveience store junk, it'll just load up everything with spooge, if you spend money anywhere, spend it on GOOD 2-Stroke Oil!
