[QUOTE="euro gasgas, post: 431008, member: 24923"] The tolerances are tight in the gasgas tranny. The previous distributor recommended 80W spectro, but the factory recommends 10W30. 80W gear oil is closer to a 20W motor oil -> so I think it is a bit too thick. There is a great oil writeup done by eric kangas on the smackover motorsports website. I think his top picks are 10w40 castrol mtx and an amsoil synthetic motorcycle oil that is a 0W30(??) check out...

No problems here... The other issue that has come up is that some guys are using the sight glass to fill their tranny's - this is there to show that you have some oil in their and it's general condition. Use a full liter in the gearbox and do not use the sight glass as a guide for quantity of oil required. jeff '01 gasgas ec300 [b][url]www.gasgasrider.org[/url] [i]GasGas Rider's Club[/i] [url]www.lt-racing.com[/url] [i]GasGas Performance Products and Services[/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
