Personally, I would use a gear lube (22oz for your bike) in the tranny. Something like 75/140 or 85/140 such as Mobil 1, Amsoil, Lucas, etc. Many use Redline shockproof heavy. Some do run oil in all 3 holes, but I don't prefer to.

I use Gear oil in mine. I tried the Redline syntetic but did not notice a difference so I went back to using Lucas synthetic gear oil cause I can get it locally
