Yes Ken, multi weight oil was around in the late 60s. However, there were problems with it.

Better not pay attention to those tire pressures either, with modern tires those pressures are too low. Low pressure in the front will give you a case of the wobbles.
Yeah, 20W-50 was available in the 70s...that was when most of us used Castrol in our bikes.

Thought those tyre pressures were abit odd when I first got my bike and read the original manual.
I've found both the items I was looking for, thanks people! :)
