Oil
Oil goes into the frame. Don't overfill. Previous threads give good info on procedures when filling oil. In the tropics, I use 20-50 mineral. Cheers, tom.

Sounds like you need to get the manual for the bike - right year and model.
Look around the threads in here which is how I started on this forum; loads of useful information is inside here!!! The right manual may be around in pdf format.
BTW, I suggest you keep that bike well away from your other bike.
Sportsbike and off-road workshops don't mix too well.

i found out whats going on. The previous owner must of crashed the bike and busted the oil tank. I tested it and its leaking bad around some welded up areas. Now Im off to either find a new frame or some kind of universal oil tank

Where you are would help! I do the oil change a bit diff! I add aprox the same oil back in crank case that i took out, not hard to do with an oil can or squeez bottle pointed tip on your oil bottle. I also fill the oil filter housing up by the same way. Fill tank to just at the bottom of dip stick run and top off.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
