Would this be ok for transmission oil for an aprilia rs 125?

CASTROL DRIVELINE SYNTRAX UNIVERSAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Castrol Driveline Syntrax Universal is a fully synthetic SAE 75W/90 manual gear oil.

FEATURES & BENEFITS OF CASTROL DRIVELINE SYNTRAX UNIVERSAL

Fully synthetic
SAE 75W/90
Manual gear oil

Also whats the best coolant mix to use id rather get it premixed like the pink stuff from halfords but i imagine there designed for cars. Any tips?

Im also looking for the workshop manual for a 2010 model. I can find the haynes for up to 06 but nothing after.

Any links to an enthusiasts maintenance guide would be a great help also if anyone knows of any.

Does the Aprilia have separate engine and gearbox oil?

The oil you've linked would be one I'd expect to go into a machine with a separate gearbox and/or a shaft final drive unit. It's not an engine oil.

Sorry, not engaging brain properly - it's a stroker isn't it. Idea

If the manual specifies a 75W90 oil then the one you've asked about should be fine.

Otherwise, a quick look on Wemoto:

Gearbox oil:

Wemoto also sell suitable coolants.

Have you checked the links at the top of the workshop page to see if there's a manual available for your bike?

Aye have looked there isn't anything. Also the gearbox oil is also seperate from the main oil. so that trans oil is good to go. I've also found someone local who does the putoline coolant which i hear is a good brand so that's sorted. I'm just looking for the manual now. I'm looking for one i can buy. Downloadable version would do for now but id like to get the book.
