Recommended oil to use?

Check/set the Valve Clearance before you ride the first time
How is this done?
-Oil debate isn't fun.
It shares the SAME oil in wet-clutch bike, so a wet-clutch friendly (meets JASO MA) is need... Shell Rotella in white container is 1 of the candidate (available anywhere/ meets JASo MA) & CHEAP...
ATF is mentioned in Honda shop manual as fork oil... I would say try the feeling 1st. Forks from good maker (Honda admits maker's name http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...4-GFM-J11.html to public finally) doesn't need change ANYthing. Apollo is a dirt bike sold worldwide NOT some on/off model that focus on Latin America market...
-Different market = Different bike CG(ohv) Ref to TT250 on CSC https://www.cscmotorcycles.com/Articles.asp?ID=293 CB(ohc) Ref to CRF230 info
