Hi, anyone know of any very light oil l(5w) that's good for primary chain case lubricant. I have tried a mineral transmission fluid that was OK but did tend to let the plates slip after a short period which was noticeable on kick starting. I did wonder if Diesel oil would be any good?
I aint showing my signature you dont know what crooks are out there.
