Default transmission oil

I was reading about the trans I have in my bike its known to lock up after about 10000 miles they say use a good synthetic oil to avoid it. Picking your brains on what oils best and why

What kind of trans do you have? I've never heard of that before. I would use Mobil 1 75w90 or 75w140 synthetic gear oil.

Korean transmission. There is no best oil. Just put in the recommended viscosity and change it at every oil change. Any V-Twin type trans fluid should be fine. If you MUST have synthetic just use whatever brand is easiest to get ahold of, Valvoline, Castrol , all have 75/140 syn gear oils.

Ya when I bought it I was told how wonderful they are there a step down of a baker. Wow were they wrong from what I'm reading. But then again everyone says something bad about everything.
