Hi All

A trivial question perhaps but can someone tell me what type of gear oil I should use in a 1968 BSA Lightning ?
Thanks

Thanks !  Tires are actually plyable but may not last long. Regarding oil - I am in Texas so its pretty hot any viscosity recommendations ? Do these units have separate transmission oil considerations ?
I appreciate your feedback !

btw - should I be sipping a Guiness while I work on British bikes ?  ;D

Hello Everyone..!
(originally posted as a 70 Lightning I checked the BSA identification link post by L.A.B. in another thread. Thanks this helps ! )

A friend just dropped his 68 Lightning off at my house for restoration. The bike is complete with non origanal Mikuni carbs. The bike has sat in his garage for 10 yrs. +
I am going to charge the battery, clean the fuel system and see if I can spark this vintage machine to life !  I was a bike mechanic in the 70's -Japanese mostly and now I ride a high output Harley Twin Cam.
I am sure over the next few months that I will have many questions and want to thank you all....because I am going to need some help on this one  !!!!   ;D
