1.2.2. LUBRICANT’S TABLE

LUBRICANT PRODUCT
Transmission oil RECOMMENDED: F.C., SAE 75W 90 or GEAR SYNTH, SAE
75W - 90
High quality oil with performance equal to or better than A.P.I. GL-4 specifi-
cations can be used in alternative to the recommended oil.
Engine oil RECOMMENDED: GREEN HIT 2 or CITY 2T
High quality oil with performance equal to or better than ISO – L –
ETEC++, A.P.I. TC++ specifications can be used in alternative to the rec-
ommended oil.
Fork oil RECOMMENDED: F.A. 5W or F.A. 20W; alternatively
FORK 5W or FORK 20W.
Whenever requiring an intermediate performance, between that offered by
F.A. 5W and from F.A. 20W, the products can be mixed as shown
below, or from FORK 5W and from FORK 20W, the prod-
ucts can be mixed as shown below:
SAE 10W = F.A. 5W 67% of volume + F.A. 20W 33% of volume, or.
FORK 5W 67% of volume + FORK 20W 33% of volume:
SAE 15W = F.A. 5W 33% of volume, + F.A. 20W 67% of volume,
or.
FORK 5W 33% of volume + FORK 20W 67% of volume.
Bearings and other lubrication points RECOMMENDED: AUTOGREASE MP or GREASE 30.
Alternatively to the recommended product use high quality grease for roller
bearings, temperature field capacity 150°C…230°C, 150°C…230°C drop
point, high anticorrosive protection, good water and oxidation resistance.
Battery poles Neutral grease or Vaseline.
Brakes liquid
IMPORTANT Only use new brakes liquid. Never mix different brands or
types of oil without checking the compatibility of the bases.

The braking system is loaded with Autofluid FR. DOT 4 (DOT 5 com-
patibility) or BREAKE 5.1, DOT 4 (DOT 5 compatibility).
Engine coolant
IMPORTANT Only use nitrite free antifreeze and anticorrosive, which en-
sures protection at least to –35 °C..

RECOMMENDED: ECOBLU – 40° C or COOL.
