Im not sure if I can get out on sat or sun. I will know tomorrow what day were going.

Theres plenty of riding in taunton/raynham.


There's a ton of trails right from my shop. And a few large pits.

in the manual it suggests u use 10w-40 or somethin else like 5w-30. dosent say anything about 80-90. in my opinion its not worth risking the trans.
