[Ethanol fuel side effects.]

i only became aware of this problem recently when i asked about unleaded fuel in my old bike and the more you look in to it the worse it gets, its good that more people are now getting informed about this problem and by discussing it you have probably saved a few bikers a lot of hassle and money. hope your thread gets lots of views the more people who see it the better thanks to everyone who answered my questions when i needed help

[Big Bore An XT 125 R With TTR125 150cc Bore Kit ???]

don't claim to know what i'm talking about but wouldn't the Digitally re programmable CDI take care of the carberation

and the fact that no one else is doing it makes it all worthwhile, to have the fastest XT125. (even if not by much) I get it, just wish i could afford it. or had the know how best of luck oh and if 25cc is not lot, well you'll only have 25cc less than a 175cc and with all the other performance parts you should have no trouble keeping up let us know how it goes

[Negative Attitude to Bikes]

live & let live that's what I say, I just smile and say "I know yeah" and leave them with a confused look on their faces

co's no matter what you say they won't understand and sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Thanks for the advice been busy google ing and you do have a good point about the ethanol, i didn't realize it will cause

so much damage to carb seals etc, also the year is fine with unleaded. the money iv'e wasted on redex over the last year could have had a good few more run outs with that, i will still put a bit in now and again just to cushion the valves cos the bike is running fine

31 years old must be doing something right ? thanks again I will take your advice and look up ethanol free fuel cheers

[1982 XS4oo unleaded or not unleaded that is the question ?]

when i bought my xs400 in 1982 I ran it on 4 star petrol or even 2 star if money was low. since I put her back on the road last year iv'e been using lead replacement additive by redex but finding it harder to find lately

iv'e seen something on ebay that looks like three lead weights in some chicken wire, that you just drop in the tank, has anyone else used one and do they work. still got to refurb tank so meantime still using redex. but would appreciate any info

thanks..
