Hi having wanted a bonneville since i was 16 at the age of 44 I have finally bought a beautifull 1976 T 140.
I know this sounds stupid but I don't know how to check the engine oil, I know where to but a friend said I should run the engine before checking it. is this true, can anyone help?
P.S. Is it okey to run it on unleded?

Your friend's advice is correct.
Perhaps you should obtain a workshop manual and handbook maybe?

A lot of riders have used unleaded with no problems, you could use a lead replacement additive or have the valve seats replaced but that is up to you and may be unnecessary.
