We have used Mobile one 10w-30 which works well. It's a little more expensive but probably explains why he takes such good care of it. This is an affordable way to get into the hobby.

I don't have experience with putting it in Ducatis but I had a cbr 600rr and a cbr1000rr and the bike 100% ran better with this oil. I would recomend it. Everyone says respol oil this and that I agree it is good oil but I also think your paying for a name there.

Gillermo ... you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about WD40 ... It's not a lubricant, far from it. We used it to loosen stuck/rusted head bolts on engines. How WD40 ever got the reputation as a lubricant is beyond me. Just wanted to validate your honest answer. Peace. : )

The year really does not matter except to look up what type of oil is needed, if it calls for ATF, then gear oil will not work, if it calls for 90W gear oil, then the 75-90W will work, some times in hot or extreme you will need 140W, look in your glove box manual for type needed or look online, I run this lucas in my motorcycle final drive and transmission, hope this helps...or call Orileys and ask

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

Just a straight 30W oil. Usually marked SAE 30. You do not mix the gas and oil.

WD40 is not a good solution for any mechanical parts as it is NOT a lubricant. It will eventually gum up and cause even more issues. Use a good 3 in 1 oil and you'll be golden.

that's what I saw also. I submitted my question to Poulan support via their email link on Jan 18th but have not received a response yet; will post here when/if I get one. I've tried to find a local hardware store that carries this model so that I could look at it but no luck. Its kind of confusing because there is also an ES350 model which is advertised as 3.5 hp. Also, on my 400E the part number on the motor housing lists it as 16" chain and bar which it isn't.

Just oil with any chain lube you like. There are different types for different riding conditions but general purpose bike chain lube is fine. A 4oz bottle will last a long time. EDIT- wipe any excess cleaner off with a dry towel before lubing.

Engine. Funnel, and gas mixer. Don't use 10w 40 like they say works better with 2 cycle synthetic.

I've done a lot of reading lately on this subject. I own a 2013 Spyder ST SE5. The Rotella T6 is now rated for JASO MA2 (the best rating for wet clutches like on our Spyders). It was previously rated for JASO MA, and previously carried no rating. But the formula hasn't changed. They keep testing it when new ratings come out. Long story short, it's the best priced oil that will work great in our bikes.

The carb comes with a 170 main jet and a 55 idle jet. I put this on a restored1988 Cr250r . It was a huge improvement. Well worth it. I ended up going up one jet to 172 on the main and 58 on the idle jet. I like my bikes a little rich. Check out pjmotosports.com they sell these carbs prejetted for your year make and model. I prefered to save money and buy it on amazon since I already had some jets laying around. You could do the same if you are confident with jetting your own bike. Or buy one prejetted.

I had the same question. The manual says Shell Rotella 40. I asked the seller on amazon, and they said any 40 weight oil is fine. I have been using Shell Rotella 15W-40 because I could buy it in the liter since the Shell Rotella SAE 40 was only sold in a gallon.

This was a great question. My 2 cycle 33cc is having issues and I was wondering the same thing. Did you end up purchasing it? If so, how does it compare now that you've had both?

The lower end models are still two cycle, the one I bought is 4 stroke which is just gasoline. Which means there is a tiny bit of oil in a crank case you have to watch for no mixing of gas and oil.
