    Spectro gearsaver always worked well for me for bikes that shift hard.

    Just about anywhere you would find Rotella. I but the 5 gallon jugs from Fred Meyer.

    These days, I use just about anybody's brand of 80 wt transmission oil. I used to use 30 wt motor oil, but can't find that any more. Lots of sulfur in regular transmission oil to help cushion gear contact.

    I use atf in my WR250. Sometimes I even use the clutch while shifting...

    No problems. :thumbsup:

    Be carefull with trans/gear oils with sulfur, they can corrode non ferrous metals. (Spoken from hearsay not experience) :excuseme:

    As far as ATF goes I have used it with no problems. Changed every 1 or 2 rides.
    Ford Type-F is the one that doesn't have the friction modifiers, the clutch will grab better.

    Currently running Rotella 15-40.
    I would like to try something thinner like ATF to see how it starts in gear but my cases get hotter on this bike than any other bike I've had :eek:
    And no I don't slip the clutch much at all.

    I've been using Bel Ray Gear Saver (light) for years now in all my bikes. In the WR 250 I can, (with a pop box ) start a Cross Country in gear, but its tough. All the "old school" husky motors had a lot of clutch drag and the adjustment is critical.
    Now my sons CR 125 is a no brainer with the same oil and because its a 125 he abuses the clutch a lot more than on the 250.

    The guy from EFM recomended ATF for the autoclutch in my 09 wr125, and that is what I have, but about half of you have me worried.
    I have heard of people mixing ATF and motor oil 50-50
