Hey guys, so I take delivery of my 2018 Zforce 1000 tomorrow that was a demo and has 100kms on it.
I have my Unifilter NU-8503-ST ready to oil and install as soon as I get the machine and I was wondering if it's worth while to use a pre-filter as well?
I was also wondering what you guys recommend for engine oil? Do you guys run synthetic and if so, do you extend the oil change interval? I was under the impression the 1000s use a dry clutch system and the 800s use a wet clutch, so I'm a bit confused by the service manual on page 10 under Zforce 1000 specs:
"SAE15W-40/SG – JASO certified for wet clutch (10W-40 acceptable alternative/cold weather)"
I have a bit of mechanical experience having rebuilt dirt bikes in the past, as well as installing lifts on Jeeps and tinkering, so I'm fairly comfortable doing my own maintenance once I learn the machine.
Any other tips or tweaks or things I should check on the machine once I have it in the garage?
Thanks
