Greg et al, I agree, I run Castrol 20-50 and change when it gets dirty
1000-1500 miles. Bob Hawkes

Hi Charles,

MY OPINION: save your money - and potential leaks - and just run dyno in
these loops. Regardless, you still have to change the engine oil every
1800 miles, anyway, since there is no filter...and the trans and rear
drive only take a few minutes longer to do.

As for fork locks, there was someone from Germany who was selling
replacements on ebay a while back. A bunch of us combined an order and
saved on shipping. I don't see them on ebay, but keep an eye out.

Hello All...

1) Just wondering if it is OK to switch to synthetic oil for the engine
and for the rear end ??? I've heard before that usually it is better to

go Syntec, but that's more at the beginning of the engine's life and if
(like mine) the engine had already runned 55K on the usuall oil it is
rather recommended to stay with the regular oil...

2) My fork lock is missing, does anyone knows where I can order one that

will fit with keys ????
