im a lil confused as to it being a 2 stroke yet there is an oil slot?

For anyone interested, one easy way to tell what year a Honda is....check the TENTH digit in the vin.

1980=A

1981=B

1982=C

and so on.

1990=0

1991=1

1992=2

and so on.

You should do some reading.

A Factory Honda Service Manual will give you a great understanding of how your new ride works.

[wpginterceptor]

yeah unfortunitly I cant get any of those manuals to load..

wats up with the oil slot?

[SteveCZ28]

what do you mean oil slot???
are you talking oil fill??

[rdlsz24]

The transmission still needs oil as it is not lubed by the premix. I usually ran 4-stroke oil or ATF Type F fluid in my pinger gearboxes

yes, whats best for gearbox?

[SteveCZ28]

i always ran shell rotella in mine. its a synthetic oil, but is safe for the wet clutch. just look at the back of the bottle. if it says energy saving or energy conserving, its not good for a wet clutch
