ATF as Gear Lube

--- Quote from: KXcam22 on June 21, 2009, 04:45:10 PM ---I finally tried ATF type F in my red 450. Gave me a huge improvement in clutch feel and slipping modulation, which lead to far less stalling in the ugly stuff. Trans shifted quite a bit better and my occasional missed shifts went away. Prior oil used was regular 10W40 motorcycle oil. Great results overall. Cam.

KXcam, You had better clear up how it is even posible that you can use ATF in a Honda 450 before someone tries it in a Kawasaki 450f. Way different deal!!!!

Been using it for two summers now. Motomaster ATF f
Works great for $4. I change it every weekend

I have alway used atf dex2 changed every 5 gals or so (two rides top) never thought about any other, it always worked realy good
years ago i used gearsaver (when i worked at a dealership) too pricey plus didn't clean like atf till you open your clutch and replace them aluminum plates most oil will turn to sluge if not changed daily

Yep, I've been using ATF in 2 stroke trannys since '00. I was a straight 30 wt. guy. Didn't want to change until one day at the track, I had no choice. Worked just fine. Got to where I don't even look to see which type it is. Important part is to change it often. It's cheap!

I have been using ATF for year. read about it in one of ERIC GORR's books. Works fine. Only problem I hade was in a older 125, it started showing main seal leak. I keep reading the work "cheap", don"t use cheap fuilds! I use the B&M trick. which you can buy just about everywere. good luck
