    I just want to introduce myself. I Live in Montana, and I am once again getting back on a bike. It's been years, and this is the first time with a two stroke. I have ordered the Clymer service manual so I am looking forward to getting that. I do however have a question, if anyone may have the info for me. What weight of oil do I put in the transmission?
