I would like to know what kind of oil other riders are using in there
Gear box. I got A stage 111 gear box and used 50 ml of ATF fluid
I put clean oil in it went 15 miles and took the side cover off.
The oil smelled like burnt 90wt gear oil. There got to
Some thing better.

Hey, ATF is a 30wt light oil and will ruin your gear faces. The thicker the oil, the less noise and wear you will have from the gearbox. Go to an auto parts store and get a bottle of 75w90 Mobil1 and a bottle of limited slip friction modifier for the clutch. It will quiet the box and wont leak as much and will provide more power to the ground! DO NOT RUN ATF!!

Auto trans fluid is not really a lubricant but is a hydralic oil. It has some lubricating qualities but not what a gear box needs. Go with a good gear oil, as suggested, and you and your gear box will be happier.

Everyone I know of that is having success with the stage II or III
is using mainly grease.
Some have over 5,000 miles and still going strong.
