Welcome sparky " you"l enjoy it when summer comes around ,,

Hi Ken standard it is got to get use to 2wheels again it's been a long time

[kenDAWG]

Not be long then you will be asking how to derestrict it lol!!

I thought mine was when I first got it turns out it had a limiter in the back of the clock now she pulls even quicker but I'm like you and trying to get used to it.

It's more helpful having full use of the power valve and full rpm to pull up the hills and overtake otherwise you look like a penis when the said car puts his foot down mid overtake.

Good little bikes though, can't wait for green laining summer time

Ken could you tell about the oil mixture as I've forgotten,how much I put in,is it every time I full up with petrol and what's a good oil to use as my research has found always use good oil cheers Gerry

Hi there

I don't know the mixture as I use the oil pump on my bike, I just fill up the tank and off she goes!

I take it your pump doesn't work??

There are a lot of people using different oils and swear by them and to be honest I've used 3 different kinds all fully synthetic and reputable brands none of this cheap nasty stuff-think the last stud I bought was £14ish for 1 ltr.

Some people swear by halfords fully synthetic but I go for the racing fully synthetic.

Ill have a look on my amazon account and see what the last kind I bought was.

Ken

Mobil racing 2t oil fully synthetic £15pr ltr off amazon!!

And no you don't have to fill it up every tank I think I top it up after 4 full tanks and even then it's not empty

[sparky67]

to be honest Ken i pick the bike up this weekend so the bike shop will tell a bit more info about the mixture hopefully it may well have a pump on it,

[kenDAWG]

I think 35-1 rings a bell!! I'm sure yours will have a pump on it unless someone has removed it

[sparky67]

i`ll propably have to have it lowered also Ken,cause all the ones ive tried ive only got half a foot on the floor, nice one ken speak soon mate Gerry

[kenDAWG]
