Hey guys,
a friend of mine suggested i sign up here as you guys might be able to help me out :innocent:
ive had a search here but nothing seems to solve my question
basically ive got a 2001 Suzuki DR 250 (bought it thinking it was a 1996 model but nope the chassis stamp says 2001)
its been my farm\ hack bike for a good 3 years now and its given me hours of fun and scares - but recently ive been getting into going to trail ride events and im really enjoying it
but that aside with this being my only bike and im not able to just go out and get another one if this one karks it id like to keep it in good operating condition since its found a new cause in trail riding - with the trail riding its getting a rather harsh beating compared to pottering around the farm so id like to look after it and get its oil and filter changed
trouble is i don't know what type of oil it uses :shit:
id go into the bike shop and go for whatever they think is best but down here they can spot a noob a mile away and start grinning gold teeth :angry:
id like to be able to go in there and know that what im getting is the right stuff for the bike instead of relying on what they tell me
so if you guys are able to help - what oil grade would my bike use? also is there a brand that stick out better quality than others?
Cheers guys cant wait to get into this forum properly :Punk:
