i just got a 1998 rm 80 a couple weeks ago and i am new at riding...the problem is that my gears are all screwed up...i can click it up to fith but can only go down to 3rd but it is in the position of first...does it just need gear oil and if so what kind and where could i get it....please help!
 
What are you talking about? Only goes down to 3rd but it is in the first position? How can that be? It is a ratchet shifter. The shifter is in that position no matter what gear it is in. You say you can get it up to fifth but it will only go back to third. Does that mean you had it in first gear once and can't ever get it to go back to first? Does the shifter stop at third and not move after that? I need to know these things in order to be able to give you the proper answer. As for the oil; the kind of oil it takes is 10W30 motor oil. It is the same oil that you put in a car engine. That is what kind of oil your motorcycle transmission takes.
 
you could try gear oil but its more than likely that you need a new trans for it. your gears are prolly striped.
