Motul sae 80w90 mineral.Is that the right oil for my transmission? With that oil it take me a bit longer to get full rpm when accelerate.

That is the right stuff for your transmission. If you hav'nt changed it before look up Billy Greens guide to be found in the left hand columb on the home page, take the bike out and warm it up first as the original oil is so thick & glue-like it wont drain other wise.
Acceleration is so slightly better you probably wont notice.

Actually that is a pretty heavy oil to use. A better option would be Amsoil 75-90 synthetic. Its lighter and better than Motul. Since Motul is a mineral oil the viscosity changes a lot when it is cold - gets a lot thicker - so you will benefit from the synthetic in that it wont slow you down when its cold outside.

Use a light weight 80w gear oil, it offers the same protection as normal stuff but is thin like water... Belray do one called Gearsaver... thick stuff really saps power... Its about £6 per litre and is fully synthetic.

That Motul oil is terrible its so tick and heavy its like starting from second gear. That stuff its recommended for heavy loaded gearboxes so its no good for my little ped.
Thank you for advise.
