i use any good quality 10w 30. never had an issue in any bike so far with that.

If we are talking gearbox oil, 10 w 30 engine oil no friction modifiers, or auto trans fluid type F.

No more, no less than 650ml.

You can also get motorcycle gear oil designed for wet clutches.

Yeah, Oil as in to top it up to see it at the spy glass... was confussed about usuing any 10w 30... fully synthetic?

If we ar talking oil for the injection tank, it must be designed for air cooled motorcycles, not weedeaters, chainsaws, or outboard motors.

There is a marked difference between the oils.

Beware the spy glass, it has been known to tell lies, resulting in under and overfilling.

The best way is to drain the oil and refill with 650ml of fresh oil.

Thanks for that. Im going to empty and refill with 10w 30 fully synthetic.

The reason i think it lies is because today it started making a very deep rattle to which i instantly thought oil! but still had a quarter on the spy glass. however this noise didnt sound too good. also a pinging noise/backfire through the exhaust..... hope its not too late !

Leak down test now, do not start the motor until you have.

As to the noise, sorry I might burst your bubble, but I fear it is too late.
