what fluids do you recommend for my bike....i dont want to use factory recommended fluids becuase i has some work done to it ....i mix fuel with amsoil and 94 octane at 32 to 1 that seems to be fine but im not sure of trans , coolant, etc .. sorry to sound like a newbie but i want my bike to last .. ..thanks

you should check your compression on your engine... over 180psi and you should start runnin race fuel...
32:1 is a good/popular ratio to mix with

I use Belray gearsaver oil

Coolant.... Engine Ice

Hope this helps you out.... Have fun on your R

I use Bel-Ray Gearsaver for tranny too.

32:1 for me and a lot of us, and your oil sounds good to run.

I run my amsoil at 100 to 1 with 112oct from sunoco. never melted a piston and at every tare down the crank had plenty of oil on it. I raced this R at every GNCC for 5 years, no seizing. as for your other fluids you don't need high $ antifreez. Prestone mixed w/ distilled water@50/50. works well. tranny oil I used castrol10w40, but I changed it every race. use your own judgement. good luck and enjoy that powerband
