Re: what kind of oil
hot weather and stunting for hours ....thicker the better
an extra guart can cause trouble..... i fill mine just to the top of the site window maybe a little past,its done so when your doing long wheelies the bike doesnt starve for oil

Re: what kind of oil
usually i run about 1/2 a qt over and change my oil to the riding conditions.10-40 in the colder months and 20-50 in the hot summer days.most of it is all personal preference or experience.basically this what i run for fluids in my stunt bikes( stock factory oil and filter,engine ice for coolant, and galfer super dot 4 brake fluid. ) i've had best results using these.and never ever use any clutch outside of the stock clutch pack,trust me

Re: what kind of oil
actually to the top of the sight window or a little past, so you have to tip the bike a little to see the level

Re: what kind of oil
Sure your clutch may be 'nearly slipping' before you put the synthetic in.. but it can make a nearly bad clutch, bad..
I put full synthetic bike oil in my f4i, clutch started slipping like hell. I coudlen't get it in the air in second, and first it was almost like a power wheelie when I dumped the clutch cause it slipped..
I went back to cheap *** super tech, adn it quit slipping..
Now I just run cheap *** mobile clean 5000... $2.22 a quart

Re: what kind of oil
Yeah I got to the top of the site glass from now on, My vent tube is ran to the front neck of my bike so I don't get oil in the airbox at times, well in revlimiter stuff on the back tire it will spray you with oil if it is overfilled to much... Found out the hard way, just over the top of the site glass is the money!

Actually fully synthetic can make your clutch slip..
