Hi there.what lubricates the kips system the premix oil or the gearbox oil.I'm sure its the premix oil.just want to be sure.thanx

premix

[dualscotty]

Thank you.

Also.when bike is running is the "rattle noise I hear " normal.

[Tedh98]

Does the noise change when you pull in the clutch? If so, then probably just the normal noisey KIPS.

[dualscotty]

Pulling on the clutch doesn't make it go away. Changes the pitch a little.rev the bike up and it goes away.

[dualscotty]

So I am assuming that its normal for the kips to be a little noisy

[Tedh98]

It is noisey. Running a full quart of tranny fluid seems to quiet it down a little.

If the premix lubricates the kips .how does the bottem end oil lubricate the kips.premix lubricate top part of kips and bottem end oil lubricate lower end of kips....thanks .

Correct. Premix lubes the upper parts located in the cylinder. The KIPS governor and drive gear, located inside the right side engine cover, are lubed by the transmission oil.

Thank you.is the noise mainly from the upper or lower part of the kips or combination of both.thanks..I know I'm asking a lot of questions..I had surgery a month ago and I have another month of recovery here at home(boring!).so I have time on my hands.

Does that have friction modifiers in it?

I have been using ATF for years and like the price and how the clutch and transmission function.

[dualscotty]

Its valvoline synthetic like you would use in your car.is the atf you use the same as you would use in your cars automatic tranny

[Tedh98]

Yes, it is ATF type f. I buy the cheap stuff at walmart
