When you say snug the plug what do you mean????

UK_KX500,

I assume you are live in the UK?  Then try Mobile 1, you'll find it at Halfords... Try 10-40 for cars or bikes. The SAE value indicates how "thick" the oil is under different temperature conditions. The lower value is for ?min? the other is for ?max? (means the oil is multigrade). Warmer weather -> need higher SAE value (not likely in the UK).

I have always used Mobile 1 and I never had any problems. The only thing to consider with tranny oil is to avoid oil with silicon or these miracle mixtures. That will ruin the function of the wet clutch.

Snug the plug means "tight, but not to tight",its easy to strip the threads in the case by over tightening the drain plug.Be careful it doesnt take much!
