Gearbox oil for ktm exc250

[Trials Rider]

Used ATF in the 2 years I rode the GG300, didn't have a problem with it.

Now looking into the pro's and con's of using diesel engine oil for the 4T. Wwaay cheaper than motorcycle branded oil and has the same properties.

I guess the pros are cheaper, cons you might have to put a three point linkage on for a plough

Too late in the season for snowjobs and too early in the year for santa pulls.

Nah my concerns would be getting the right engine oil to minimise overheating, wouldn't want to do that too often on the 4T. Experts reckon synthetics keep the temp down but increases the chances of clutch slippage, so it appears to be a fine balancing act.

We use Amsoil fully synthetic on all our bikes, $36 p/l but it keeps the bike running very well. I think its worth it as with the engines getting so high tech with less tolerance to wear you don't really wanna skimp on oil.

ATF, how does it feel changing gear, I ask because it is very light in viscosity, is it notchy?, I can see it would be good for the clutch plates being light, would minimise any slippage.

Na no notchyness at all, and you can buy it at the servo's at the same time as fueling ya car, thus not havin to pay for it from riding muny account, he he.
