Me and my lady had a car each and mine was used to commute to work each day and costing me £160 a month on fuel and insurance so decided to get the bike which costs NOTHING to run..

Anyone know what type of gearbox oil and how much of it I need to replace the old stuff?
Does your bike separate the gearbox oil from the engine oil?

The motor oil capacity should be cast somewhere on the engine. I use commercial, diesel, 15W/40 engine oil in all my motorcycles. You might enjoy reading the following essays on motor oil.
