No oil pump, oil change every 3 hrs and usually pigs to start, tappets take ages to set, astronomical spares prices,
but i do have a spare set of dirt wheels for one

After each ride I would keep topping it up until I had put a litre through it then do a full oil and filter change.
You need to check oil every time you get on, even if you have pulled over for a brew its worth a quick peek.

I have found alot of write ups about the bike,mostly good i add, :) ,,engine oil is good for 300 miles,,i am only popping to town or up the local dirt track,
If it works then it will be a fun bike,,the kickstart is made to be kicked by the right foot before you get on.

So when you stall it half way up an impossible hill you've got to get off it to kick it over?
See you at the bottom :lol :lol :lol
No, you just turn round and bump start it :lol

or a box of matches for when it won't start. I used to bump start my 610 as it was easier than kicking it (make sure the piston is at the bottom of the stroke ;-) )
