Esso Univis j26 the correct oil to use. Change it after every ride.  A 1 litre capacity, there should be a level screw on the side of the cases. Nice bike to ride, glad to see you now have a real bike to ride ;D ;D

Yeah Bill.......What prompted this little bout of left field pleasure? I owned a 360 Auto back in the day and once you get used to the lack of clutch lever and scary lack of engine braking, they're great little gizmos. I actually want one myself.

Thanks guys will post pose pics soon  :) it looks like a cross between Robs top and bottom pics .

Pete thanks for that info on the oil i will try to track some down.
Bikes been standing for years so i figured it would need changing.

Green tank,  pipe crosses over motor but doesn't have fitted side panels like top pic  ???

Inherited was probably an exageration  ::) a mate has lent it to me indefinetly but wants to retain ownership at this stage  :)

Looking forward to a ride after iv'e checked it over  :)

Firko i dont know what prompt'ed the move , iv'e been pestering the guy for a while and he delivered it last night and took away an XR 500 , DT 175 and a TS 125 to make room.

At the other end of the Euro scale i picked up a 1975 CZ 125 at the weekend very original and still on Barum tyres  :) will post pics in the CZ forum .

Its going to be a Euro christmas in the shed

Just because your've got a broken leg doesnt mean you have to have an auto ya soft cock Bill. And a CZ125?? what were you thinking?? Any more euro bikes in that shed of yours and you'll be looking around for one of those Dutch twinshockers  :P 
Tell "That Guy" if he is going to give away bikes I'll bring my trailer up and he can load them on with his fork lift.  ;D

Tee Hee,
Did you get the Manual I sent… for the Auto.
Gotta love the Swedes and their sense of humour

Hey Bill, now you can be the Arlo Englund of Taupo [no not the Alices Restaurant Arlo]. Or the Jaroslav depending on which euro bike you are borrowing - makes a change from Roger and Joel, or Harry.
