I'd be thinking that was too thick..

I use 10w40, it's also what's recommended in the Sherco manual and I'd be guessing your bike would be pretty similar..

Go to page 48 in this, it's a guide for the 2002 Beta. Has the recommended oils from them there. I don't think they've changed too much between then and yours?

Transmission Oil. 550ml Bardahl Gearbox 20W40 from the owners manual.

Gday all, gear oils and engine oils use a different "weight" system. 80/90 gear oil is pretty close to 10/40 engine oil in "thickness". I assume that MTX is a transmission oil so it would be OK. Personally I use Dexron 3 Auto transmission fluid in all my 2 stroke gearboxes. Its the best for clutches.

Shell Advanced gear oil 10w is what David from Beta Racing recommended. Thanks for the link Motostar99.
