Our Gear Oil Tip for Kawasaki Concours 14 Final Drive

A question from a reader: The owners’ manual for my Kawasaki Concours 14 suggests the following guidelines for final drive oil:

• API “GL-5” Hypoid Gear Oil
• Above 5°C (41°F) use SAE 90 gear oil
• Below 5°C (41°F) use SAE 80 gear oil

Do you have an AMSOIL synthetic gear lube that would cover these suggestions?
