Scoot Questions

I have just purchased a used 2008 Jonway, or so I was told it was, 150cc, It has had some major upgrades. Big bore kit, larger carb, performance exhaust, upgraded variator springs, and a oil cooler. Its fast, really fast to be exact. But it has an oil leak. I was wondering what weight of oil I should be using and how much.

Hi
Welcome aboard
Pleased to meet you
Since you just got her i would give her a full pdi, you will get to know about your scoot and her needs and give her a wonderful start on a good long life
I gave a pdi to any scoot i may get whether new or used it makes no difference

Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank

I am giving her the once over. I traced te oil leak back t something next to the carb. Is held in with 2 bolts and has a hole in the center. Looking over the engine diagram to see what it is. Turns out I was missing a screw. Ran up to Gomoto in minneapolis and got a new one.

22oz of 15w40 is what I use. Usually sold by the gallon for diesel engines.
