If the dark brown wire from the front left turn signal got plugged into a regular-colored brown wire, then it would act like that.

Nice, Congrats! :clap: I think that was well bought.

Just think, for about the same money you could have had a non-running RZ previously owned by a Beastie Boy! :dawg:

For vintage motorcycles I don't think it matters much. The gearboxes are overbuilt and even in fairly extreme trim oil isn't the weak point for either engine or transmission performance.

For our race cars we've run some extremely exotic oils. Some worked and some didn't and I've seen a few transmissions bite it. I personally did one in for the tune $10k. Different problems can arise when you are doing dry sump and even dry sump transmissions. These aren't problems these old bikes have. Put oil in them and they are likely to work.
