I've done the gearoil change on my GB after having really stiff shifting issues in the cold. Replaced with Redline MTL and have had the easiest shifting gearbox I have ever had. Highly recommended.

I read the tip of opening the top one first ;) Very good to repeat!! Also read the discussion about what oil to use.
We dont have all those hundreds of american brands here, but I will check for it.
I asked around a bit and everyone just pointed me to a proper brand 75w80 gl4 gearbox oil.
They like to sell kroon oil here. wich has a few ranges.
When the weather gets a bit better I will just change it then.

This sylvester I was in -16 for a few days and it was the first time I felt it to be a thing.
To be fair there was a lot of northern wind. The window washer fluid froze up, even though it was supposed to be good for -30. And even the springs made crackling noises.
