a 140 weight gear oil may be acceptable in high temps, but up here in the
frozen tundra,
it gets to where it take two people to push a bike that has bel-ray in it. I
know belray
has some lighter weight alternatives, consider them.
IME the shaft support bearings suffer the most when oil can't get to them,
weakest link
is the countershaft bearings, be it 4 or 5 speed. Thick is not necessarily
good, just like
loud is not necessarily fast.
