Do you think this is appropriate? It does say "ideal for differentials" on the bottle...

Drain that and put in the OS Giken oil. That's a must!

Already ordered! I would like to take time to thank not only redondoaveb but all of you for you're help, this is really appreciated! I will make sure to come back and update you when I get my OS Giken oil!

So! We are now about 3 week later since my oil change and I am very glad to say that the problem completely disappeared after a long test drive. I'm so happy my baby is finally back on the roads and such a blast to ride. I had a race about two week ago that went well too!

Once again, I want to say a big thank you to everyone that helped me and I hope this thread prevents anybody else from doing the same mistake as I did.

Keep riding and stay awesome guys <3

OS Giken has their own fluids that must be used. My 1.5 way makes no noise except a bit of wine in the winter when its super cold till it warm up.

Like the others have said. You have to use the OS Giken gear lube. Anything else will cause you issues. The OS Giken fluid has come down in price.
