List of fluids please!

drive735 · 09-06-2008

Sorry guys and gals...I'm new to the motorcycle thing. I have a 1970 G4tr and I'd like a list of what fluid I need to make this thing run properly. Obviously I need gas and oil, don't need brake fluid....so really it comes down to the gear case! What type of fluid do I put in there? Is there a certain grade? Any other fluids I need? Thanks for the help!

Don't know what your fuel mixture should be for that 2 stroker, but they do have a 2 stroke oil for your engine oil.

Thanks! I'm using amsoil synthetic 2 stroke oil for the engine I'm just concerned with the gear oil. I'm not sure what I have to use. I have a dip stick where the clutch cable goes into the case, I just don't know what to put in there.

Sorry, I thought the engine oil and (gear)trans oil were one in the same.

They very well may be....I'm new to motorcycles so I really don't know. I do have a separate reservoir for engine oil which has a tube going to the pump, the engine is oil injected. But there is still that dipstick near the clutch that is confusing me.
