whatsup guys gotta quick question just tore down my 99 and i was wondering what kind of coolant do yous use? Do i have to get it from yamaha or can i just pick some up from auto store.
---also clutch cover fluid can i use any tranny fluid? thanx

I use Engine Ice (very good stuff) for my coolant.

For the tranny I used Ams oil for a while but it kept soaking into my clutches and making them slip. So I stay away from AMS crap.

I now use Maxima 80Wt Tranny oil. Never had a problem with it. People say its too thick but I have been runnig it 2 years like this and no problems.

I suggest picking all this stuff up from a dealer or online atv parts store so you know you are not getting something that will ruin your atv. I stay away from autozone and wally world specials:scary:

-who has cheap fluids online?

what i use in my tranny (http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do?prodFamilyId=3229&navTitle=Chemicals&pageLinkUri=&webCatId=23&vehicleType=&priceRange=allPrices&webTypeId=100&brandId=160&navType=type)

engine ice (http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do?prodFamilyId=339&navTitle=Chemicals&webCatId=23&pageLinkUri=&vehicleType=&webTypeId=41&navType=type)

If you buy these in bulk they are pretty cheap. I suggest buying it first at the dealer and see how you like it before buying in bulk

--i might just go to martins motorsports yamaha dealer and see what they got. Do ya think it would be more at the dealer?

GM dexicool (orange/red) for tranny fluid I run the same Revtech fluid we run in our harley it works good with the clutch I have.. I use to run B&M trick shift but that stuff is quite expensive!
