Possibly GARY is referring to what blow up doll lube he uses

you can bet ithat stuff is cheap enough theres not any friction modifiers in it to worry about

I use this one. No clutch slip, and the gear selection is far smoother than the mineral oil i used previously.

I feel sorry for Garry's gearbox....

Another positive for the Putoline GP10 is it's price, available on ebay for £8.50 a litre...

i've always used cheap mineral oil in my bikes gearboxes - it may be crap
but i've never had any problems with the boxes or clutch - and by the looks of it saved a lot of money along the way - i can live with a 1BHP loss - i don't think i will notice it

fortunately i have no need for a blow up doll $\:D/$
