ching chong chang

ive recently got a nearly new loncin 125 pit of a mate for verry cheap. i know there well known as a bag of **** but its quite a lot of fun so im happy as im not too botherd if its amazingly fast or well biult someone in the oil topic said that heavy oil is better for these de-tuned not so posh engines. i was wondering what to look for and if standard car four stoke oil is ok? thanks allot and great forum.

Re: ching chong chang

10-40w semi synthetic oil. 4t obviously.

try not to get car oil, but if you have to then do it. i got some castrol MAGNATIC oil which is made for starting up, the oil clings to pistons and stuff for a longer piston life quite a nice bit of bullsh1t on the back about it aswell

i didnt mean its rubbish, i meant it was a very attractive blurb on the back. aka bullsh1t

The best part is. It says 6.99 on the shelf. and you take it to the till and its 9.99
