Hey guys! I've almost completed my complete frame up restoration of my Tri moto 175. I'll have some pics pretty soon. Any recomendations as to whih kinda fluid i should use in the trans? thanx

You can use regular 10W-40, Rotella diesel oil, wet-clutch specific motorcycle oil, or ATF Type F. The manual calls for standard 10W30 automotive oil. But you don't want to use any sort of energy conserving oil. So its safe to use 10W40 but I would be careful with 10W30.

Here's a link to the manual for your trike. Post some pics of it. How did you restore it without a manual?
