1982 suzuki sb200 gearbox oil

[-Matt-]

Hi all

Got an old suzuki sb200 2stroke im restoring. The old 1982 manual says to use 20w50 oil for the gearbox. Seems quite an old uncommon oil now, would i be best off using another modern oil perhaps, or sticking with the original spec?

Cheers

20w50 is still fairly easy to come by in good motor factors and I would personally stick with it.
