Answer
Hi Hank,

It is always better to check your oil
level after letting it settle a bit.

Add about half quart of 10W40 motorcycle
oil and then hold the bike level and
check the oil level on the oil site glass.
Fill as needed to the top line.

If you just add the amount often stamped
on the side cover or listed in the specs
it may be overfilled due to old oil
clinging to things. Having the engine a
bit warm can help when draining.

These bikes used a 32:1 oil mix ratio.
This is about 4 ounces of two stroke
oil in a gallon of fuel.

Some high quality racing oils can
be used at a ratio of 40:1 which
is about 3 ounces in a gallon of fuel.

Good luck!
