| Re: API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil 4 stroke engines dont use gear oil;-they use 4 stroke motorcycle engine oil..........the crank/piston and cylinder makes contact with the same oil as the trans gearing and the clutch.................
Some 2 stroke dirtbikes use gear oil in the crankcase...........the crank doesnt make contact with the gear oil...........the 2 stroke crank makes contact with the gas and oil mix so thicker oil can be used for the gears and the wetclutch..............
You dont use gear oil in a 4 stroke superbike............................Peace |
