Hi,

That's a great bike, treated right it's incredibly reliable. I raced one in 1972, never broke.

Gearbox uses 20w-40.

For the bubbles in the line, just start and run the bike, and pull on the oil pump cable so it runs through quickly. Should sort itself out just fine. Be sure to use good 2-stroke injector oil.

When you get the manual, make sure the pump is set correctly.

Have fun with it!
