Oil - ct3 was created by Gallotti

Morning,
I need some help regarding the type of oil and amount to best lubricate the bike.
Do I just need to see how far it is at the level or do you have any advice?
Thanks

You can find all the service info in the Tech Library but the CT3 takes 750cc or nearly 3/4 of a quart of 10w30 in the crankcase.

"...that is rated for motorcycle wet clutches, and not just any old 10W-30. Non-detergent necessary!

Transmission oil as discussed is important but don't forget to keep Autolube tank full of two stroke injector oil (if working) and/or premix oil into the gasoline.  

(Forgive me if you know this but I've seen several new owners not realize the engine is lubricated by oil in the fuel)
