Just a tid-bit of oil info for you all.
15W-40 is moslty used for Diesel motor vehicles, be it tractors, big rigs, boats , generators, etc, etc, etc.
It is a good oil for sure and is made for heavy duty operation , so I think it seams pretty smart to be used in these chinese bikes , especially since the machining is rougher than the Japenese machines . I would also gather that for the gears in the gear-box on these bikes which uses the same oil it would make a great oil , better than 10W anything .
Of course this is just my opinion on the matter .
I will be going with Shell oil and wil let you all know if it is good or not based on real world riding .

When you think about it, would you run diesel fuel in your unleaded car just becasue you thought it was what you think it should be run in it ?
15W-40 is what they recomend, so 15W-40 is what its going to be eating !
And it makes sence in a machine tha tis not smooth as silk like a Japenese bikes motor my friends .

Cheerios, and Fruit-Loops too ! Kelly out :wink:
