What oil have you guys found that works best for our bikes? I used 20-50 motor oil... and I am thinking it's still too thin?!

I haven't road it much but around the block and few times.. Seems to be warm..

Is that bad oil?


Thanks

I use Castrol 30wt. It is what most of the guys riding the Russian bikes use, and what I've used in the Ural for 10 years so I use it also in the China bike.

Using 10-40 here. 20-50 too thin?....No I'm thinking it's a bit thick for my liking.

Sorry guys. I had put in 10w-30 and the valves were making some serious noise.

I changed it to 20w-50 and its running much better..
