There is crankcase oil used for the transmission and the clutch. This is a seperate system from the lube that gets to the piston/rod/crank. 10W30 would probably be ok but to be safe call your Yamaha dealer. So far as the oil injection system, you should find 2-stroke oil that is good for air-cooled injected systems. Your Yamaha dealer would be able to help there too. For start-up I agree that some pre-mix in the tank would be good insurance. You may want to drain all the injector oil that"s in the tank first before you get going on this. Chances are the oil is gummy and won"t do you much good. I would not use chain saw oil as this is generally thinned out to aid in mixing with gas. Oil injection is more direct and a reduction in viscosity could ruin your motor.

Dan, most Yamaha dealers would still be familiar with that bike. They were very popular in their day and the fact that there"s still a lot of them running means that they are still servicing them to some extent.
