What type of oil does this bike use?
How do I adjust the carburetor?
Their is still exhaust coming out of the pipes after the engine is shut down. Why does this happen?
I purchased the bike three years ago, had a full service done this past summer nothing to major wrong with it.

If you live in a cold place like in Europe, you will need the SAE 20-50 oil and if you live in the tropic, the best is SAE 30-50. I live in the Philippines and the best oil that I have used is the LUBRON SAE40
with a little additive also from LUBRON (made in UK).
With the carburator, you will need a synchronizer to balance the air flow of the carburator, you will need professional help with that.
With the tail pipe, i think it is clogged, maybe it is rusting inside.

use 10w/40 oil.
You need a set of gauges for carb synch/balance. The clutch 'rattles' when they need adjusting ( it gets quieter when rpm is over 2,500 or just as you load it pulling off) the mixture is EPA sealed, you have to remove blanking plugs to adjust. the exhaust 'fills up' with gas and its drawn to the colder less dense area outside pipe when you stop engine.
Pretty reliable engine, check valve adjustment as it tightends up and could cause problems
You'll know when it needs doing as it will be very hard to start but run fine when it warms up
