What types of oil to use?



Southern Motor Cycle Company recommend the following:

Engine: Non-synthetic for the first 500 miles, then run synthetic. Use a 20W-50 Harley Davidson or Amsol oil ( 3 quarts-you may have to add a bit more, check with the bike straight, not on side stand).

Oil pressure should be anything over 3 PSI in heat and at idol it will probably go to 0 but as long as it goes back up youre fine. Also at cruising speeds around 60-65mph, you should have between 15 and 30 PSI.

Transmission: Harley Davidson semi synthetic tranny fluid (21oz).

Break fluid is DOT 5- front and rear master cylinders.
