Rode it to the car show tonight, lots of people interested in the bike. I changed the oil again and used some 10w40 synthetic (motorcycle specific) that was left over from the Suzuki GZ 250. Anyone have an opinion on the 10w40 synthetic. The original specs were 20 weight in winter and 30 in summer. I think multi viscosity oil was fairly new when this bike was made but with an air cooled engine that is screaming at 40 MPH quality synthetic would seem like the best choice. No pressure lubrication on the 50cc engine.

The wife passed me on the way home. Told me the tail light was bright but the headlight was pitiful. I think it's a 20 watt bulb. No night riding on this bike.
