StephenD Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hi is there any chance you could help me out with the oil ive bought? I have the haynes manual and for my bike 125 YZF oil type API grade SG or higher Oil viscosity 10W30 or 10W40 The oil i have is castrol Power 1 racing 4T 10W40 Fully synthetic Not sure were i find on the bottle the oil type... Will this be suitable do you no ? and will i have to empty any oil i have inside already or cant it be mixed, since im not 100% of what was put in last.. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 well if it isnt leaking oil, it would have to be burning it surely :/ top it up and leave the bike running, if you cant see it leaking look for black smoke coming from the exhaust which indicates burning oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preload Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Did you run in the motor with F.Synth oil as its not the best way, the rings don't bed in correctly and the motor will burn oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
