Hypoid oil?
It had been years since I changed my secondary and final drive oil so I did this weekend, using a gear oil from a Yamaha shop down the street. It fit all the specs Suzuki required but did not call out Hypoid gears.. Is it ok to run this oil, will it break down faster than normal? Just wanting to be aware, thanks. -

It's difficult for us to say since you haven't provided many particulars. Most likely the oil you found is fine but more information is needed to be sure.
Why not just go to your local auto parts store and pick up some common gear oil? Less expensive and just as good.Ed
To measure is to know.

YES, they are Hypoid gears, Hypoid gears are used in most if not all differentials. Spiral bevel gears are not used in motorcycles that I have seen. The difference between Hypoid and spiral bevel is with Hypoid gears the center shafts do not intersect. Yes the Yamaha Shaft Drive (hypoid) oil part number acc-shaft-lu-00 will werk perfectly in your final drive.
