Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
ATF as Gear Lube
tschisi:
It seems that i?m the only one with major ATF-Problems.
I put it in my k5, in my CRF450, and in the 125 ktm of a friend of mine.
The k5 is the only one that runs good with it.
In my CRF the gear-shift mechanism quit it?s work and in the ktm the spring that puts the shift lever back to the center position broke, both immediately after the oil change.
I could fix both but that was just annoying...
arrgh!

Rode four rides with ATF and changed it every two. I just went back to Belray Gearsaver. I didn't like the looks of the ATF when it came out of the 500 trannys. See more super fine metal in the ATF where on any of my KX, KDX bikes I don't see hardly any with the Belray.
Same thing with two stroke oil. People constantly switching brands. Like the Redline two stroke oil by the gallon. Haven't done any top ends in a long time.
