With the tire threads back up and the "What's your bike worth" posting, I just thought I'd ask....
What is your favorite oil to use on these bikes?

I'm thinking about switching to canola oil. I don't seem to be having much luck with the engine type. Started hearing a knock in my new engine today, so I'm pretty bummed. Being for all intents and purposes at the moment unemployed (still gotta go to work but coming up on a second payday with no pay, come the 5th, no paycheck I stop working and apply for unemployment) I can't afford to try and fix it again. I'm not going to sell it, but I may have to give up riding for a couple of years while I tear it down and fix everything right (and I do mean everything, if I have to do this it's going to be a 100% restore). I may just run it tell it grenades and then start working on it, I just don't know now.Cy
