Thanks for the responses. I have heard of Brad the Bike Boy, but I didn't think of him. I also spoke to the parts guy at A1 motorcycles in Ringwood. He reckons he can help me out with everything I need. BTW, reading the owners manual is an interesting experience. I think it was translated into English by an an Italian with only a rudimentary knowledge of English. Very funny read.

G'day, my name is John and I have a mint 850 Le Mans Mk111 (1983) parked in my garage. It belongs to a friend of mine who lives in Tasmania. he just bought the bike in Britain, and it has been delivered to me. and I am going to arrrange for its registration in Australia. It arrived empty of liquids, including all oil except for the forks, and with no battery. I have consulted the owners manual and it gives oil specifications for the motor, gearbox and bevel drive. All are Agip oils. I have done a search (for what it was worth) and found no information at all. I know people in forums hate theses questions, but what modern oils do you recommend for these 3 applications and what about a battery.....can you recommend a brand and model number. I will probably get a Yuasa....just need to know a number. Hope you can help me here. Cheers
