ATF type F
Is this standard auto fluid for the tranny or something special?
Ive read several posts discussing oil vs ATF, but unsure if it is just regular auto fluid or a moto ATF?

Yea, Ive heard good things about it. I just bought this bike and it had a spun tranny bearing when I bought it. Got to ride it 3 times then crankshaft seal went out, so replaced it. Got another ride then it started leaking again.
Drained oil and found lots of shavings so I took off clutch side casing and it was full of shavings. Clutch bearing has froze up so I knew I was in trouble. Then I started tearing the engine apart got it off bike and split case to find tranny bearing spun out of race and other side covered in shavings.
Not sure what came first...clutch problem or bearing problem. Im now in the middle of a bolt up restoration.
SLick Nick.....I found your posting a couple of years ago on Thumper talk. SWEET rebuild, IM trying to copy your work. BTW, how is the engine paint holding up, Im thinking about doing same.
