I have a Yamaha XJ650 Maxim - 4cyl, 4cycle engine that has been in storage for ten years now w/o starting or any care.
It starts fine and I want to change the oil, filter, etc. It shares it's oil with the tranny. I plan to drain the oil, change filter, replace with synthetic mobil one for bikes, let it idle and change the oil again.
I was told that adding a fourth of its oil capacity with trans fluid would help clean it up a bit.
This motor/trans holds 3.4 quarts of oil.
Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
This bike has 13000 miles.

Chip McGrew
