If its original i would use 20wt, i am quite sure that 20 weight engine oil was the order of the day for My 125E, Hope this helps, as usual there are plenty of people around here with greater knowledge than myself.

By the way there is a Yz400 engine on gummy for $1. ans says best offer

I've been negotiating with the owner about that motor but I'm out now as he wants $500 for it.  He bought it in a buggy and has seized it twice he reckons because the motor is mounted on an angle and the carby float level isn't correct so it runs lean and seizes??  Anyway sounds like it's had a hard time to me but if you are desperate keen enough go for it    It's currently on 1mm OS but I've told him he can go to 2mm so he's thinking of keeping it??

I know the motor in mine will probably last longer than me as it's still on standard bore and after recently stripping it down in preps for the Classic Nats, discovered the thing is absolutely brand new inside so I don't really need any spare motor parts.  Man these low hour US imports are a sweet thing to buy .. not like most of our bikes which have been flogged for 30 years.

Anyway hope that helps.

So were you the guy that never showed up Matt??  Well that's what he told me when he called me back today .. that someone had offered him $500 but they never showed up.

I won't say what I offered him but I did say that @ $500 I'm well and truly out of the negotiations

Mate if you've got trev's old bike then you bought very very well.  It would have been mine if I didn't commit to those gorgeous CZ's.  I've ridden it and aside from it being weirdly peaky compared to mine, it's a really nice bike and was an absolute bargain.  Well done you
