2006 gz250 - wrong oil!

timmplin · 03-21-2021, 03:39 AM

Hey everyone. Last august (2020) my dad bought me a 2006 suzuki gz260 as my first bike. Near the end of the month he filled the oil, and about a week later told me not to turn it on because he had put the wrong oil in. I wasn't able to do a motorcycle riding course till october and by then the weather was bad so i haven't turned it on at all. Im reading the posts on how to change the oil/filter and i think i can manage - what I'm wondering about is do I still need to turn on the engine to warm up the oil before I drain it? Or is that bad for the bike. Also I haven't been able to buy a cover, its got some grime on it from the elements, is there anything beyond the obvious I should know about cleaning it up and getting it good to use regularly?
