so i;m buying my first 50 today. picked up a 2006 50 stunt. i've never owned one and i don't know much about the maintenance. i'm sure it's not that difficult but i have a couple of newbie questions. do they use regular gas? or do i have to do a mix? what kind of oil do i use? how often do you have to do maintenance such as oil changes and whatever else? like i said total newb to owning a 50. thanks for the help guys

I run premium. Any Jaso MA approved oil is probably good. Is this your first bike all together?

4 stroke = straight fuel. No mix
I use 10w40 bike motor oil (actevo x-tra i think) in all my single cylinder 4 strokes.
Any bike motor oil similar to that would work. Just please don't use car motor oil!

no synthetic oil, it messes up the automatic clutch thingy

It'll work, but just google "oil for crf 50" and you'll read a lot of people saying that they've had burned up clutches. I run non synthetic just to play it safe. It's cheaper too

I used to run rotella t6 in my old F4i (diesel oil) and it ran great. Never changed the oil on the fiddy yet.
