Sammyt80 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Just put new Silkolene Super force 4 range Semi synthetic 10w / 40 There was about half the oil in the bike and blacker than the black hole of Calcutta, seems to run better and gives the gears smoother changes. Just got to remind myself in 1000 miles to redo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi I have a Yamaha T80 and just wondered what oil to use and how many miles to change it, Thanks Sam. You should be more worried about the grease in the shaft drive housing (rear wheel) you need to look at that every 1500 miles the engine oil could live to to 3000 miles and on change don't forget to replace (or clean) the gauze filter and use a good quality 10w40 oil also insure the cam chain is correctly tensioned if you want more T80 info PM me Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammyt80 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 So how do I go about greasing the shaft drive, and where is the gauze filter. would be best if I get a Haynes Manuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
