What viscosity of engine oil do I use in a 200 Wildfire motor? Don't have an owners manual. Thanks

All of my bikes and quads drink from the same jug of Rotella 15W40. It's wet clutch compatible, and it's cheap at Walmart.

i use 15w40 as well... however for the first oil on the top end i decided to go with a premium high performance mix from the moto store...LOL from here on out it will get cheapo stuff... i have noticed autozone now has a high zinc content oil that may not be a bad idea... not sure if its wet clutch compatible, but it would definately help prevent wear... i am actually running that in my truck right now...

Thank you.

Any quality, commercial, 15W/40 engine oil is excellent.

I use Mobil, Delvac, 15W/40 motor oil in all my motorcycles.

Anyone know where the drainplug is on a Wildfire?

It should be on the left side of the engine, in front of the shifter. It will take a 24mm or 15/16" socket, and it has a strainer and spring behind it. Be sure to clean the strainer before reinstalling; a blast of WD-40 is suitable.
