[QUOTE="Dexterity, post: 213650, member: 4596"] Hello all. I've just acquired my very first dirt bike for next to nothing. I'm assuming there's going to be a number of problems as the previous owner broke his back after taking a jump wrong and subsequently the bike is a little beat up as well. However it fired right up first try, every try and ran great! (Even came with a rigged up lightbar!) So I get the bike home and take her for a spin around the house before parking it for a good maintenance check. First things first, I'm an idiot who jumped the gun by taking apart the air filter box without doing any research on it. I never knew air filters were ever oiled so when I found an only slightly dirty air filter that was quite moist with oil I hit the web trying to figure out how oil could have gotten into the air filter housing! [emoji58] I've gotten the cleaning solvent, filter oil, and gasket sealant on order atm. Possibly upgrading to a K&N air filter down the line. I also wanted to ask this forum their opinion on what motor oil I should use. I was told shell rotella T was a good cheap oil but I wanted to be sure. Thanks in advance!
