My old F11 loves the honda HP oil for some reason. Ran it in my KDX for a whlie, but the KDX likes ATF much better. Don't be afraid to play around with many different gearbox oils. The biggest thing you will notice is different clutch/shifting feel. Pick what seems to work best in your bike and run it. Just stay away from oils with friction modifiers in them.

canyncarvr suggest:
HERE is the article he is referring to:You referred to it maybe being 'too thick'.
Gear oil specs are not the same as motor oil specs. Some think that a gear oil rated at 80W is somehow twice as thick as 40W motor oil.
It's not.
Quote:
API viscosity ratings for gear oils are not directly comparable with those for motor oil, and they are thinner than the figures suggest. For example, many modern gearboxes use a 75W90 gear oil, which is actually of equivalent viscosity to a 10W40 motor oil.
