I just bought 2 98 CR125's that need a little bit of work. I just changed the clutch plates on one of them and I dont know what kind of oil to put back in there. I aint worried about which brand of oil just what type of oil.
On the other bike the kickstart didnt go down and I couldnt even push start it the wheel would just lock up. I took off the clutch cover and started taking the clutch out to see if I would notice anything wrong. after I got the clutch plates out I noticed that the kickstart moved freely now. After noticing that I decided to just put it back together. I got it put back together now and the kickstart seems to move pretty normal now. Anybody know what this couldve been? Do you think it will come back after a few good kicks when I get oil back in this one? Sorry im a noob with 2 strokes :bang: I new I should have stayed with Yamaha :nener: I also posted this in another section because I need some help ASAP so I can ride for a little bit today

Also I heard you can use regular 4-stroke motor oil. Is this true?

Transfluid,I would use honda oils,motor oil is different,not intended for wet clutch,some guys have tried hydraulic fluid,not enough protection for the trans.We use a product from phillips-chevron that is the best fluid yet.

I went with some Rotella 80-90 gear oil. This should work right?

At this point the best thing you can buy is a manual. It will save you money in the long run. A Clymer manual will be cheaper than an OEM manual.

Do not put 2 stroke oil in your transmissikon!!! My CR80 uses standard motor oil for the gearbox. I thin it's just standard 10W-40, but I would have to check to be sure. Get a shop manual and do it right.

I use Advance Autoparts store brand 10w30. (Made by the folks that make Valvoline)

Works just fine for the kind of riding I do.
