  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

What type of Transmission oil is everyone using in there Two Stroke Huskys? I see there are A few different 80 wt types out there but my manual calls for 10-40 semi synthetic.
 
Rotella 15w-40 non-synth. Change every 10hrs of run time.
Cost $11/gal.

Been using it for years on both 2 and 4 stroke motors without issue.
 
I have been using F type car auto trasmission fluid for years in all my kx two strokes, when I bought the husky, I planned to use the same.
But its too light for the husky, so now I use golden spectro gear oil, in the husky, 80 weight. It seems to work fine. But at 11.95 a quart
Im open to trying something else.

On the bottle of the golden spectro it says: recomended for wet-clutch transmission cases where an SAE 10w-30w, 10w-40w or SAE 80W GEAR OIL IS RECOMENDED
BY THE MANUFACTURER.

I'm going to use Bel-Ray gear saver 80w in my Husky but I use ATF+4 in my GasGas with good results and a low price.
 
Off to WalMart for some Rotella. I like to change my oil often because of the Autoclutch.
Thanks

ATF works great, really smoothed out the shifting

Why would you run it in the KX and then think it was too light for the Husky?
 
I run Rotella in my WR 300. I have a Rekluse in my bike and they recomend Rotella. I change it every 2 rides and its cheap!
 
anyone tried Rotella syn. yet? I tried the regular oil in my WR250 and it didn`t seem to shift as good as Motul trans. fluid. So I went back to the Motul. It`s full syn. that`s why I was going to try the Rot. syn.
 
I've ran the Rotella synth in the past with no problems. And if I were using motor oil for crank lubrication I would probably spend the extra for the synthetic, but not the trans. Its lucky to get changed at all!
 
Can you just use 4 stroke fully synth engine oil 15>50 ?

rotella here too. i've been using it for 6 months love it. atf+4 just looked that up, that is hydrualic fluid and has no sae hypoid number i.e 10w, 20w ect. prob not a good idea to use any automatic transmission fluids
 
My Huskies have been picky about oil. The best low cost oil I have found is Delo LE. I like it better then Rotella.

The best oils I have used are mobile one and amsoil 0-40 but they are not worth the price to me since the Delo is almost as good.

AFT resulted in false neutrals between gears for me.

Because I did put it in the new, to me, husky and didnt like the way it shifted, when I bought the bike I ran what the po had in it, the first ride, then changed to atf
then went on another ride, didnt like the feel, and seemed there was more noise. Changed to the spectro and was fine. The KX's all ran better, smoother shifting,
better clutch feel, with the atf. I dont know why??? so I have used atf along time now.

Disclaimer: we are talking about two stroke bikes, case oil. dont even put atf in a fourstroke.

I ran ATF in my kx250 and kx85. I run rotella syn in my vfr800. I tried spectro in the wr125 but am happier with the ATF - too much clutch drag with the spectro. You can't even get my sons kx85 to start in gear with dyno oil in the transmission.
 
What is the oil capacity in the 2012 WR144 transmission? I have only been using the sight glass to refill, but never measured how much it takes.
