MTX Synthetic 75W - 140
Posted by Michael on September 27, 2006
I am currently restoring a 1973 Suzuki GT550 2-stroke motorcycle here in Switzerland. Recently I purchased MTX SAE 75W-140 gear & final drive oil for the transmission. Apparently it was developed for 2 stroke engines. Can you please advise? Thanks in advance, Michael
This really is quite an interesting one, as i am sure you are aware this lubricant is a purpose made gear oil, and is ideally suitable for the transmission, as your motorcycle is a 2 stroke the oil only needs to lubricate the gearbox. A 4 stroke motorcycle however needs to lubricate the engine and gearbox, which would require a different type of lubricant.
