Lubrication

[bronko37]

I am rebuilding the back end of my 75. Any recommendations on what type of grease to use in the final drive unit? Also, I am using valvoline 10-40 in the engine. I know the bike has a wet clutch. I checked the bottle and I dont see anything on it about a teflon addative. Anyone have a recommendation on the oil to use in the engine too? I just want to be sure I am doing everything right.

Thanks as always guys....

The final drive uses 90w gear oil. I use 10w40 oil in my engine and #2 Marine grease for the final drive splines and grease fittings on my 1100.

Rotella 5W-40 is what I use and it works very well.
