Man its true, once you start caining it, you become possessed and go nuts. Its just so fun hitting powerband and hearing that motogp angry lawnmower sound!
Anyway I just have a few of questions.
Firstly, how much oil are these things supposed to use? I worked out that 100km used about 300ml. Thats heaps and is really expensive!
Next, the first bottle of oil I bought was Motul and fully synthetic. This cost me round NZ$35 for a litre. The bike drunk it like a fat kid drinks coke. I figured this was not sustainable financially so bought some cheap Elf oil which is 'synthetic fortified' at $15 per litre. Now, is it bad to use this cheaper oil and should I only use fully synthetic?
I have a leak
. The two stroke oil drips out where the exhaust system bolts onto the engine. It drips quite a bit (think a drop every 20-30seconds). Needless to say, I always have lots of newspaper under the bike.
I'm not really too sure how the oiling system works so am not sure where the leak is from. I suspect the leak is where the oil goes into the carbs, or where the shaft that drives the oil pump is - perhaps its leaking down into there. Could these be possible places? On external examination theres no such significant leak.
How does the oil pump get adjusted? Can one adjust the rate of oil?
I really like the bike but this oil thing is putting a damper on the enjoyment.
