The importance of motorcycle gear oil
Whether your motorcycle has a two-stroke or four-stroke engine, getting the gearbox oil right is essential. Your bike probably has a wet clutch, in which case it shares your motorcycle’s engine oil.
However, if you’re riding a shaft-drive motorcycle, you’re going to need limited slip gear oil too, providing the durability and protection of a full synthetic formulation created by liquid engineering.
