July 18, 201511 yr Author Don't seem to be able to get 5w 30 anywhere. I have some 10w 40 at home, so it's either that or the ATF. At least the brake fluid was straight forward. lol
July 18, 201511 yr I have good results with 10w40, atleast no real problems (in several pre-pro models). But thinner could prefent sticking problems e.g. better. If you do get problems you can just swap again, its not damaging the clutch or something. Edited July 18, 201511 yr by crazybond700
July 19, 201511 yr Author I think that's the plan. Empty out the ATF which may be old anyway, then try the 10w 40 which I have some of anyway. Well at least until I can find the 5w 30.
July 20, 201511 yr Author Well a local rider came over and declared my bike to be a good example, with only a few minor check to do. The chain needs tightening a little and I just need to check the coolant level. I assume this is just a case of lifting the fuel tank. I may drain at some point. Otherwise he says it rides well and doesn't;t appear to have had a hard life, which is good to know.
