  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

All 2st Transmission Oil

I just changed the oil yesterday.....I put 750cc and that's just above the 1/2 mark on the sight glass. So the exact is probably more like 725cc.
 
I run Walmart ATF Type F. I didn't have enough on one oil change so I used Rotella T since I had some in the garage. It had more clutch drag and I hit a lot of false neutrals. Went back to ATF and it works great.
 
Rotella white jug (15w-40) here too. We have 6 dirt bikes and they all run with it. Two of them have the Rekluse EXP's and no problems with any of them to date. It's cheap so we change them often.
 
Since this old thread started I've switched to using Rotella 15w40. It's the equivalent of 50w gear oil. Pretty much any motor oil that is JASO rated will work with a wet clutch in a 2t. I looked up the ATF +4 and the gear oil rating was only about 25w so I thought it better to go to something a little heavier.

Am I going to hurt anything using a 4stroke synthetic like Mobil1?

No, as long as you do not use the Mobil1 0w50 Racing or the 0w30 Racing. Those two Mobil1 oils are off limits for use in motorcycles. Check the specs of Mobil1 against Motorex, you will find that they are identical. This is because Motorex often purchases it's base stocks from Exxon.

p.s. buy your Mobil1 @ walmart so it doesn't hurt your wallet...;)

Base oil is base oil, regardless of source. Motorex is not Mobil1 repackaged. I work with the Motorex USA guys.
 
Just drained mine into the measuring jug I use for my gear oil after makeing sure the oil was smack on dead center of the sight glass and exactly 700cc cam out!
Refilled with 800cc and its over the sight glass nearly all bar a mill !!!
Think my jug is due for calibration :lol:
 
Mine has a small screw - no sight glass. Did you check it with a warm motor? There will always be some oil left around the place so 800 mil is from new/ dry I guess
