Update: I tried the easiest thing first. I filled it up with gas and it seems to be starting much better now. It had about a quarter tank in there but I guess it was something about the fuel to air mixture. Thanks for all your help!

Hey all, I am new to this board and a new scooter owner. I just purchased a 2000 Yamaha Riva xc125.
It was running great. Sometimes it took a couple of starts for the engine to stay running when it was cold, but today, it wouldn't stay started. It would turn over and start for a few seconds but then would cut off. Tried about a dozen times before I gave up / didn't want to ruin the starter.
I just recently changed the oil so I'm thinking that it might have something to do with it. I'm hoping not though. I read in the manual that if it was going to be over 60 degrees (I live in Austin, TX) I should put 20w40 oil in there but Auto Zone didn't have that so I went with Synthetic 20w50 motorcycle oil. Would this have anything to do with it since it's a very thick oil? If you don't think so, what do you think it could be?
Thanks,
Nick
