Been covered loads of times before, u would of found out if u done a search. I use 10W40 in mine, got it from halfords

 

Yeah i looked but an i cant find f*ck all.

 

Manual says agip supermotoroil f.1, a google of it shows its 15w-40.

 

cheers but....

 

I use Castrol power 1 4t 10-40w from halfords works nicely.

 

Cool. thas what i bought earlier.

 

75 90 fully synthetic here

 

NOOB question alert!!!!

im checking the oil level.... now should it be to the ridge that is about a cm up from the end????

checking the manual it simply says check the level and top up if necessary.... doesnt state up to the ridge/mark or what ever...

so im asking.... i need to put some in as it appear the stick is bone dry!!!!! :-(

thanks guys!

 

summin to add into this talk FOR noobyes !!

automotive motor oils ARE NOT for motobike's, just in case IF some1 already bought automotive oil.

 

this mainly because of the doppes they put in the oil. they can make the clutch slip as a car most of the time has a dry clutch

 

i got castrol act>evo gp 4t 10/40w - they didnt have any castrol power etc

 

good to see your actually going to put oil in it this time

 

My manual says agip 15w 50

can't find it tho

 

Does anybody know the definitive answer for the best gearbox oil to use in a 2003 Cagiva Mito and how much. Many people say different oils and different amounts. Can anyone help?

 

They put in (motorcycle)Gear box oil Light in mine.
Before that, I had motorcycle 4 stroke engineoil in it, Valvoline semi-synthetic 10W40
I gúess you can go either way, as some use gearbox oil, some motorcycle engine oil.
The amount should be in the manual.

 

have a dig on Lougle Google as i dont know all the english words to explain it but:

Automotive oils are for Dry Clutch, hence they have all sorts of less friction particels etc on the oil. Those additives are harmfull for a wet clutch, especially on a high revving engines.

rev high, slipp the clutch alot and the additives that are slick make the clutch slip->get hot->cause overheating-> warp the metal plates-> and burn/glaze the friction plates.

the additives will d*ck into the friction plate as any oil does.

wet clutch designed oils have always additives on them that ADD friction, vice versa to automotive oils.

comprende ?

best gear oil ive used so far has been Motul5100 4T motorcycle 15W-50. because its the cagiva's original 15W-50 value and it defenitely made my mopeds rough gearbox very smooth. next im putting it to Cagiva's when my Agip is done.

 

on Friday I'm going to change the gearbox oil I've chosen Castrol power 1 4t 10-40w i don't no if its right or not but i have a question how do i change the oil as I'm trying to download the manual but the website ain't working so cant download the manual

 

Huge 25mm drain screw on the bottom of the engine, best to access it from the right hand side, if you take the filler dipstick out as well it tends to speed up the process somewhat.

 

me and a few mx racers at my club use automotive oil. weve been using vauxhall 10w-40 in my yz250 for years. Its cheap as sh*t. No trouble there. The bikes get ragged too.Tried castrol 4t in my supercity everyone on here has a hard on for and didnt like it. Had a small amount of slip at high rpm on changing up. So got the vauxhall stuff in now and its fine.

 

exact oil is vauxhall 10/40 semi synthetic approx 11 quid for 5 litres

 

That engine oil or gear oil?? because you could be doing more harm than good otherwise lol

 

engine oil and I dont see many riders at my club having any trouble. The castrol 4t stuff people use is engine oil too. Its fine. At that price u can do more changes too. ppl can make their own minds up

 

well tomorow il try castrol and see how it is and then il try the vauxhall one as well in like a months time

 

My raptor 2010 states 5 / 40 .. 4T oil .. is that a typo or correct ... ...

 

Anyone confirm this, as my gearbox seems cak ... been over 2000 KM since last change, i thought they were good for 5k ..

The dealer who changed the oil last time use their own supplier as it were ..i looked them up, seemed like some sort of specilist oil company, anyway lost the link and name ...

I'm thinking of going for the Motul 5100 recomended on here .. but don't know which one because of the above query ...

When it had the change last time the gear changing was much improved, although that did not last to long, will going for the high end synthetic mean better changes for longer, or should one just swap the oil more often ..

I have these 2 in mind ... 1 litre enough ,, >>

800ml of this fully synthetic ought to do it - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IPONE-2-STROKE-100-SYNTHETIC-GEAR-BOX-OIL-/250732812807?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a60d71a07

I use Castrol MTX 10w40 and it works fine. In my manual it says 650ml or 0,65 liters I have a Freccia though, but same engine.

 

I don't know what to get now .. if someone can confirm fully synthectic will give me better gear changes for longer i'll go for that !!
