Welcome to POG John. Gary is right about automatic transmission fluid. I've used it on all my bikes since the 70's without any problems. Just change it often. It's best to remove the clutch side cover to drain it. It lets all the fluid run out and allows you to look for metal shavings, etc.

Thanks for the quick replies. I use ATF in most of my bikes these days :)

Welcome john, this is a great place,  more than likely someone else has asked the same question so make full use of the search mode.  You will find a wealth of information,  more than you can imagine.   I have learned so much here and you will too.  Good hunting.
