1985 250es specifications?

[renorider]

Im hoping someone can help me. I need to know what oil viscosity is called for on the above mentioned trike.. And also what lubrication is used in the rear differential? (this is a shaft driven trike).. Even with 18 year old weathercracked/leaky tires it's a blast to ride.


Thanks to all those that respond.

For normal temperatures, use 1oW40 motorcycle oil in the crankcase. Modern car oils have friction inhibiters that can cause motorcycle wet clutches to slip. The rear end takes 80 wt gear oil.

i use 15 40, it hink it has better hot protection, better yet, u can use 20 50, but i think that it is too thick in cold weather.
