I wouldn't go nuts over this as I think its more important to just change it using oil with manufacturers specs and manufacturers intervals.

engine oil and dif every 5000 miles
the diff always looks like new so now i think every 10000 on the diff

That tiny final gear drive is under insane stress, as the tuned up car engine torque, having been MULTIPLIED going through the transmission (in the lower gears) yanks on it. As a mechanic, I wince in pain on it’s behalf, as I’m doing roll-on wheelies on my R3T. Or, when I smash the throttle, to dispatch dawdlers, whilst two-up.
Use the best gear oil you can find.
I recently ran out of Kal-Gard Moly fortified gear oil. It kept my (well abused) motorcycle final drives alive for the last 39 years.
Amsoil Severe Gear is next.

Has anybody used Motul Gear300 75w90 Synthetic for the final drive ? Any thoughts ?

I use motul on the engine and final drive and I change the drive oil every time I do the engine oil which is at least once a year, sometimes twice if I’ve been on a long run. For the amount of oil it takes I just do it.

Motul 300 gear oil 75w90 is the only final drive oil I have used but only have 35000km on the bike and it’s always very clean went it comes out. I am hoping it’s doing it’s job.

I'm using Honda oil, the stuff for the Goldwing. Its a synthetic. I don't trust brands that call their stuff synthetic but don't tell you what the base stock is made from, except in this case.

If it's good enough for them to live 100,000+ miles on a 1000+lb bike, it's good enough for a 700lb bike.

While am not a huge fan is branded fluids like yamalube, Honda fluids, etc, Honda is the one OEM I actually do trust with their engineering. Reputation, in this case, means more to me than any spec or label.

Their moly grease was the cat'sass, too.
