I asked my dealer just last week what oil should be put in my gearbox and the renew interval.
The chief service mechanic told me that my 1997 model (actually all NG900 models) uses 10w30 dyno oil and that it was not necessary to ever change the oil unless gearbox repairs were necessary.
I have my suspicions that he is wrong, but he is supposed to be the expert.
I would have thought that a synthetic type oil would be used in the NG900 gearbox, but I dont know how I can be sure what is in mine. I know that it has never been changed, so if he is right then it must by dyno oil.
I am reluctant to change to synthetic at this stage as I am worried about leakages or seals wearing.
I also have a slight wuring going on in the gearbox and was thinking about adding the STP gearbox oil additive to try to reduce the noise and give some protection to the gears etc.
thoughts ???
