gear oil type for rm250

[overbore]

Thought I read somewhere to use pennsoil 10w30
but cant find thread.
Thanks overbore

i use 10w 40. 10w 30 is a lil to thin

 

[Vic]

Most 10w30 oils (like Pennzoil) contain friction modifiers, which may cause clutch slippage.

A blanket statement like "10w30 contains friction modifiers" is false. Some may, but others may not.

valvoline 10/40

Please forgive me.

I shall adjust my post in a quest to make proper ammends.

MOTULE 2 STROKE TRANNY OIL 10w40 is what i and other around me run and it seems to be the

good stuff

Many have had good luck with ATF TYPE F in their trannys. its cheap enough so it can be changed after every ride. I use atf type f and sometimes use castrol gtx 10/40 and sometime use motul 2 stroke tranny oil...whatever I have on hand.

I run maxmia 80wt for mx and 85wt when i race cross country. I recomond running oil that is desinged for a 2stroke gearbox I have seen a few clutches burrned up from people using motor oil in their tranny.

i use belray gear saver since the bike was new no problems as of yet original clutch works fine but a little grabby but all 01 rm 250 are :cool:

seems to be doing ok.Thanks again for all the responses.We also have a ktm and I wonder

over in ktm section also.Thanks for all the help.
