RED Line (period) in all 8 holes
EIGHT holes??? Does your scoot have 5 extra holes for unnatural acts [sm=itsok.gif] or something?

Amsoil 75w90 SVG in the transmission ( 22 ounces for your 97). Amsoil 20w50mcv in the engine and HD formula+ for the primary ( don't need to spend the extra for synthetic there). You can't go wrong with either Amsoil or Mobil 1. They are the top two rated synthetic oils in the world.

Stroker.

I changed oil before putting the bike up for winter and used Lucas 75w90 synthetic oil in the trans, Lucas 20w50 synthetic in the motor, and Formula + in the primary.
