What kind of oil should i use for this bike? I have a manual that says "Yamalube, or two-stoke oild labeled "BIA certified for service TC-W", or alternately I could use 10w30. Can i just use regular 2 cycle oil you can find at an auto parts store?

    Just regular 2 stroke oil, don't use 10/30, its not designed to burn.

    The engine makes very little power relatively. I use Motul semi synthetic in my TDR250 but that is making 3 times the power from an extra 75cc.
