I would follow the manual for which trans oil to use, or go to a bike forum and see what the consensus is there.
How do you like the 500? I almost got one but went with 96 YZ250 instead and its been more than I can really ride anyways, lol. Its been ported, has a long rod kit, and a pipe too, so its got some bark. But nothing like a 500.

It's spec'ed for 10w40 motor oil.
There really is no need to use heavy gear oil in the trans. Most 2 stroke motocross engines will survive with just about anything in the gearbox. A common favorite is synthetic ATF, such as Mobil 1 ATF.
Redline, Spectro, BelRay and others make "trans" specific oils. Some are simply repackaged motor oil with a dye, generally a 10W-30. Some of these brands even have this info on the back side of the bottle!
I've gone to ATF in all my 2 strokes with great results.

I guess the new 450's pretty much match the motor CR500 motor but have updated chassis? I hardly ever ride off my property anymore so I don't get to see how all the new bikes run...

Depends on what you want.
A 75W-90 gear oil viscosity is roughly equivalent to a 20W-50 motor oil.
Typical ATF viscosities are in the 15W to 20W range but Redline and Amsoil both make a "heavy" which is about a 30 wt.
I would think that gear oils and motor oils have some amount of anti-wear ingredients but what's in an ATF? Just asking the question - I never really looked at them.
