Does anybody have a service manual for a 98 thunderace?

I've done a search on BCF and looked through the pages and pages of links all to no avail.

This is the only thing I could find on the net and it the link within no longer works...
https://thunderace.hadeler.net/service_manual/

Thanks

edit:
oh, and whats the best oil to use for the engine?

Can cause clutch slip and with the amount of oil thunderaces burn its cheaper to use semi, l use rock oil 10w40 guarden in mine as others made the clutch a bit noisy.

Thanks. I've bought some 10W40 semi synthetic.

The man at the bike shop confirmed that I shouldn't use Fully syth as it's TOO good - slippy- and will cause clutch slip.
They only had Shell oil and I was short on time so I bought it (even if it was a bit pricy)

He said that the best thunderace's burn up to a liter a every 1000 miles, so if it stars to burn some don't worry about it just keep it topped up.

I'm now looking for an oil supplier that sells the stuff in 45 gallon drums.... Mr. Green Thumbs Up
