When I drained the gear oil out, it looked a but suspicious. It appeared to be Royal Purple, which is fully synthetic and not to be used in these bikes. So, I compared it to some 5w30 RP I use in my cars.
As you can see, the RP from my container (on the left) is identical to what came out of this bike.
Honda makes a 5w30 conventional oil without friction modifiers for wet clutches and I plan to pick some up, today.
The fill port on this older bike is on the side above the sight glass. I read where I need to lay the bike in its side to pour in the 650cc (ml) of oil.
The sight glass is odd in that it is indicating the proper amount of oil is there even though I drained out exactly 650cc. Not sure if this is just a window or if it fills with oil from the bottom and maybe it got turned up and is staying filled?
Anyone ever have these out and know how they work?
The prior owner gave me a small container of Belray two stroke oil. Nothing on there states a mixture. Will look for that Amsoil Sabre when I'm out today.
What do you folks run for tire pressure?
