It's the transmission. Use a transmission/gear oil of your choice. I like Red Line Shockproof, but your choice may be different.
If it's a used bike you should change *ALL* the fluids, & I mean *ALL*! That's right, engine oil, primary, transmission, brake, & fork. It sounds like a lot of work, & unnecessary, but in the long run it'll be worth the effort & expense. If you do it yourself you'll know it was done, done right, & you'll be a lot more familiar with your ride.

If it's clear fluid (looks like water, but thicker) It could be Spectral Synthetic Trans Fluid. This is good stuff. My Indy used it in mine, but i wasn't aware of it until I changed it myself. I then used Redline Shockproof Synthetic. Had I known I would have kept the Spectral, but when I did my change I already had the Redline.
Both are good products. Redline does make it easier on us old guys when trying to see the fluid on the dipstick. Check it while standing upright not on the jiffy Stand. Make sure it's hot as well.
