Just a quick one is the air filter on the rs200 supposed to be wet or dry carnt find frig all on net about it any ideas

Thanks guys

Think you will find it is supposed slightly damp with two stroke oil or air filter oil once it has been cleaned and dried.

Ok thank you

first classic bike iv had simple things like that I have not got a clue but anything else I'm generally good with I think LOL

Oily damp, as previously said. 2 stroke oil.

What ever you do, don't forget to to up the 2 stroke oil reservoir with some good stuff - not 4 stroke oil though!.

ha ha

yes done that today put some good quality 2 stroke oil in getting the old girl ready for a little trip on weekend

Phew.

I have seen it happen a lot when people aren't used to 2 strokes - even happens when people are 2 stroke experts (but I won't mention Cynics name )

Lol

Seen it happen my self my brother being one of them proper div that lad is cheers for the help guys

Hi again just wondering Would it be worth putting a k&n air filter on and would I need to re jet it ?

Thanks

If you mean remove the filter box and fit pods...I wouldnt myself

Personally I'm with Airhead on this and I would leave the standard airbox and filter on.

Phew.

I do seem to recall having lights, horn, easy starting, good idle, a battery that was fine and a bike able to do the rideout last year..........

Awful lot of ribing for a bulb. I have time..........plenty of time......

Ouch

Cheers for that guys just a thought but think ill leave it as is just got some filter foam but its rubbish so iv got to find some thing better

Nothing wrong with a Kn filter,but as said don't remove the air box to install cros winds rain ect will all efeect the way the bike runs,with a bit of work they can be installed inside the air box on a old girl like yours.If you air flter installs with a centrla bolt and wing nut dril a hole in the k&n and mount it,job done in minutes.If not then think about how you can hold one in place inside the air box I'v seen alot done different ways,alloy tubes with a flang to mount it on ,tube screwd to the air box and sealed with foam.Custom made aloy air box with a top flat style air filter from another bike.original air box moded to accept a flat style filter where the mettal lid fit on then all the other hole's closed off so the only air comming in is filtered.

There is always a way to fit 1 in/with the box if you think about it and you shouldn't need to re jet,but if you fit one then a quick plug chop will tell if it's needed,normal just a bit of tuning to the carb is all thats need move the needle up and some moree fuel with the pilot screw ect..

The air box keeps the air flow ballanced and thats the ultimate goal

Some good info there dt502001 thank you

going to have a proper look and see wot I can do the filter foams iv been getting I wouldn't use on my mower never mind my bike

cheers for that hopefully will be sorted soon

No problem, Richard,, when you sort it post a pict,other's might need the info of how to mod thier box.

Also look at car filters for size fitment,if you chose to mod the top of the box. Some of the jap cars might fit .

. I have OIL..........plenty of OIL.....

Fixed it for ya jason "

Thank you once again

I'm of work tomorrow so ill be in the shed having a tinker I will put A pic on if I go ahead with it cheers

yeah thats not a bad idea to find an easily available filter that will fit, have you got the old filter so you can make comparisons of size?

I did have but the wife threw it like the div she is lol
