Think that was answered a little bit ago...

Transmission oil:

Type: YAMALUBE 4 (10W-40) or SAE 10W-40

Oil change quantity: 0.30 L (0.32 US qt, 0.26 Imp.qt)

Check out this PW50 manual I found on the Yamaha site.

EDIT:

LINK not working right... try copy/pasting this:

BTW, has anyone ever tried ATF type-F in the PW50? What I use in my KDX and like it a lot.

Ok where are you putting the oil is maybe the first question... if in the front of the bike on the bars that takes 2 stroke oil, YAMALUBE 2 or 2-stroke engine oil (JASO FC grade) or (ISO EG-C or EG-D grade) per the manual. If in the transmission use SAE 10W-40 (motor oil) or YAMALUBE 4 (10W-40). The one on the bars mixes with the gas to lube the piston, etc... the one in the tranny lubes the, well, the tranny.

could i put in ANY 4 stroke engine oil? 10w/40 as its just an older bike

In the tranny, ya any SAE 10W-40 motor oil. I think ATF Type F might work, trying to figure out if others are using it before I try it.

we use bellray gear lube, i also think the manual calls for it.

no issues with it.

we use ATF in the KTM with no issues.

i went to my local bike shop and he said that SAE 75W oil is what i wanted because it was a light oil ???

could i get away with using this?

[shortyr6]

that should be fine. just dont get the 75w like they put in the rear end of trucks. lol

[alex25]

i gotr it going anyway by just putting in a bit of fuel in the carb, sounds ok.

but i noticed theres no cable from the oil pump??

what would u recommend the ratio be? do i need to do anything to the jets in the carb as i dont suppose its been done.

thanks
