Transmission oil

Guys what make/type of transmission oil is best for the 500
There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in, but the holes are small, thats why the rain is thin

I'm using Castrol Power 1 10w30 motorcycle oil. It has to be suitable for gearboxes and wet clutches.

Same oil as Linx, Castrol Power 1 10w30, and for the same reason.
