Hi Guys, I am looking for a little advice . I have a nice 1985 evo suzuki rm 125, ( apologies its not ktm related as I sold mine recently and will be back in one shortly ). I have a few newbie questions needing answered if possible.
My manual states to use SAE 20w/40 transmission oil. When looking online at motorcycle oils I don't see much 20w/40. Is their an alternative ? I'm sure I overheard someone say that a regular motor oil can be used as is cheap and can be swapped out frequently ?
2 stroke oil to mix with my petrol. Their seems to be so much on offer . what makes one better than the other ? should I be looking for a specific oil as an older engine ?
Coolant. I assume pretty much any motorcycle coolant will do provided it is a mixture of distilled water and antifreeze ?
Thanks .
