Using a rocho 6 plate clutch and need to know what type of gear oil to use, was thinking either sae10/40 engine or a light 75/80 gear oil as this is what's used in an aprilia rs125 which the clutch corks come from ?. Cheers Simon

Ummmm whatever you have already in there? What you currently using and if you didnt fit and fill then Id be asking the dealer what they used as if its been ok, i wouldn't want to change it.

This is a fresh build and no dealers involved. I was presuming that because the clutch plates are from an aprilia that I should use the same oil as used in them.
