I think any 4 stroke bike oil is fine for a 2 stroke gearbox. I'll be putting semi-syn 10W40 in my YPVS, because I have half a can left over from my FZR600.
I don't recall there being specific gearbox oils available in the 80s, but there seems to be plenty of options now

GL4 gear oil (it's Posi lock clutch pack 'safe) in 75 ~ weight .
Roughly same weight/viscosity as 10/40 Yamalube, which is IMO the worst oil to pour into the trans of these things.
