excellent oil for gearbox

hello,
do you have gearbox weird noises or problems ... ?
you can use this oil :
kernite top blend 80W90 or 75w90 or 70/80W140 : it s excellent for old gearbox, heavy ones like on BMW.
I m using it on my R80G/S now, and some friends do on their old BMW : WE ALL FEEL A REAL DIFFERENCE, the noises disappear, the gears go smooth etc ...
it s a bit expensive (30euros/liter) but it really does a difference and lasts at least 50 000 kms even more !
We can find it at some bmw dealers here in france, not all, other distribution networks i don t know

KERNITE LUBRIFICATION
division de NCH international SNC
avenue de la Voulzie
77 160 provins
france

happy trails and no gearbox noises :-)
