100% syn with a rust inhibitor, K2, klotz TC3 etc.,etc.
mix range, 80 through 100 to one, what ever your comfortable with (personally 90 to 1)

Type f ATF in the transmission @ 375CC some folks run GM auto trac "the blue stuff"
I also know a few folks that run 5-30 syn castor motor oil.

Good luck, Tim

Thanks Tim, hey, I have that "red" transmission oil in mine,....what brand did you say you thought that was?
I have been told the manual was wrong stating W10-40, said it should be W5-40......anybody else out there heard of this????

Here is the recommendations from Gas Gas USA website by the way:

Recommendations

Spark Plug NGKBP5RES, Champion RN11YC, Bosch Platinum WR9DP

Trans/Clutch Oil Always 5W30 (Not 10W40), 350cc for the Pro, 650cc for other models, normal motor oil (Castrol/Penzoil etc). It is not recommended to use synthetic oil.

For your model, ATF DEXTRON. For what we use it for it doesn't have to be a name brand, it's cheap enough to change it often. I wouldn't change the type of oil, GG clutch packs sometimes react badly with synthetics. Stick with what came in the bike
