Gear oil GL rating for TC 96?
Guys,
Getting ready to do first oil change and was going to use AMS Oil 20w-50 in primary and engine. Was also going to use AMS Severe Gear lube 75w-110 in the trans. Does anyone know what the API GL rating is for the 2009 TC96 engine? AMS Severe geal oil states that it is rated for GL-4 or GL-5. Just want to make sure I don't put the wrong stuff in the tranny and have any warranty issues. Thanks.

The bikes only need a GL-1, which many motor oils qualify for, that's why the 20/50 will work. Using a GL-4 or 5 is overkill as far as extreme pressure additives are concerned, but many do it, including myself now, to help quiet things a little. Either way will work, just personal preference.
