Hi and Welcome to the forums. Nice bike! Same color and year as my first bike!
To be honest, I think the replies that you received in the Facebook group pretty much cover the bases for your questions.
There are no dipsticks on the oil caps of these bikes, try to use the oil recommended in the service manual for your temperature range and I would recommend definitely replacing your choke cable. These bikes can be pretty stubborn on cold mornings! Another thing I learned the hard way - make sure the carb heater wires (yellow and black) are solidly connected! Mine worked themselves loose one winter and the bike started dying when I stopped in traffic unless I kept the revs up.
There are manuals available in the forums here as well as in the Facebook group, so take a look and see if they help out. Let us know if you have any other questions.
