if its a first gen vmax any good 10w-40 motorcycle oil. i use mobil 1 4t motorcycle oil, some will say synthetics shorten the life of the clutch, i never had a problem, just stay away from automotive oil because they don't have the additives for a wet clutch.

Your VMAX does not use a separate transmission fluid. Your clutch is a wet clutch and uses the same oil as your engine. Use the manufacturers recemmended oil weight, either 10W-40 or 20W-50. I recommend a synthetic that is specially formulated for motorcycle wet clutch applications.
