I have a 150k miles bike that has started to develop a grating sound on the 4th gear, on the move and on engine braking. It moves still and engine brakes well on that gear except for the sound.
The shop thinks the transmission is shot and recommends a rebuild. I got no history on whether the bike has been rebuilt before.
I have been using hdeo on the bike with short oci.
Withe the suspected gear problem, is there a recommended oil that I can use to extend its usability till I can find time to service it as it is my primary commuter.
I am willing to try adding Lucas oil stabilizer or even the Lucas transmission fix that I have lying around unused if it is recommended just to extend its life.
Any recommendations?
