Hi Folks,
Does this bike come with gear oil?
Want to change it to make the shifting more smooth.
I'm constantly pulling in the clutch lever to smooth the ride.

Surely the clutch is to make shifting smoother.... ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."

The gearbox and engine use the same oil.
You're probably riding in too high a gear, try riding one gear lower. The redline is at 11,000rpm and unlike cars, it IS a target . Anyting below 5,000 on a medium inline 4 and it will be snatchy.
Also worth reading up on rev matching if you want a smooth gear shift. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
