Default Quadzilla Lubrication??

What would be the best premix oil to use in a stock quadzilla?
What would be the best crankcase oil and type to run in the crank?
What would be the best tranny fluid to go with?

Thanks

The first two Q's have the same answer and run the same oil. I run Bel-Ray H1R at 40:1.

For the transmission I use ATF Type F.

I used to run Bel-Ray and Spectro but I switched to Maxima Castor 927 and I like it. I'm definitely going to stick with the Castor 927. I premix at 32:1 with race gas.

The only thing to note about Castor 927 is that it can separate in the extreme cold with certain types of race gas so you need to be careful with it in the colder climates. To be safe, I have been cutting my race fuel 50/50 with 93 octane pump gas in the winter, which should reduce the possibility of separation.

In terms of the tranny, I use Bel-Ray Gearsaver but I have also used Pro Honda HP Transmission Oil in the past.

Usually I like using ATF type F in the lower end of my 2 strokes....BUT the LT500 doesn't have very strong gears so I use a little more insurance and run 10w40.

Ive been using castrol 20-50 in my 87 zilla, ive been doing this for a couple years now,, i ran a long season like this( 60 hrs ) then had to replace my clutch do to slippage, since the new clutch has about 12 hrs on it no problems.
I run this oil because i change my oil after every ride, or 6 - 8 hrs and it only costs about $4 compared to getting the wet clutch oil at around 10-12

one of my buds is strongly against this and says im crazy,, but its been working so i dont know, im courious to what yall might think
