700ML is the amount to put into it. Do not overfill it as that will cause you to blow the crank seals. Us a good motorcycle gearbox oil with a weight of 10w-30

Spark Plug is a B8HS

awsome thank you. i got that plug yesterday and fired it up. it ran but would not go : / i tryed everything and still no matter what you did it just sat there. we took the engine out and tore it down. we found a bad bearing broken and the metal everywere.i even found the little spring that feld the seal together inside. but there was nothing rong with any of the tranny gears. any idea y it wouldnt go?

Without being there to inspect it, it is impossible to say. I would say inspect the trans completely and replace the bearing and seal. Make sure to use Kerosene to clean out all the fragments in the trans assembly.

ok great i have it all apart and i dont see anything rong. maybee replacing that bearing and just cleaning it all out might be ok. also when i took my carb apart the idler jet was missing and it looks like were it was soposed to go has rotted off and someone tryed to shove a fishing weight in it. i took the fishing weight out and now it just a hole. we got it started but it was so boggy and no power because it was getting way to much fuel. it getting so much fuel could cause it to not move??? like not enough power to move it

Can anyone tell me if a 160 quadrunner is a good quad to buy for a beginner? Its a used bike and needs lots of attention.
