Jinlun 125 11 lubricant

[grandad]

I am very very new to biking, at the ripe old age of 57 I have bought myself a JL125 11.
With the absence of a user manual I am at a loss as to what lubricant I need to put in the engine,I would be grateful for any advice from any biker that has the knowledge
thanks

If it is a four stroke, wet sump (engine+gearbox oil in crankcases)engine, then any 10-40 bike oil will do i wouldn't bother with synthetic in it as it probably wouldn't make it last any longer, I personaly would use semi synthetic in all but the most modern bikes.

If its a two stroke always use good quality two stroke oil, cheap oil is not worth using (unless its a lawnmower), you would be risking engine siezure whilst riding, as for the gearbox you could use a light bike gearoil or 10-40 engine oil.

hi,
welcome to the weird & wonderful world of chinky bikes!
im on my 4th!
anyway, jinlun- owners . co uk & the chinese bike forum are pretty useful sites,
im sure someone in there will have a manual which you can download.
as far as i can see, most owners use 10W/40 semi synthetic.
cheers,
GAZ
