Glamis- KX5 vs the four stroke questions

<< < (3/3)

hoopty:
All day long

delusionised:
i love it, ill give it a run see what happens- good times!

Timbowe:
Ams is the good oil. I've been using their Interceptor 50:1 recently, but have used 100:1 for near on 20 years with no complaints at all. {Run at 90:1 ratio}.

Arigato:
Due to load the sand places on your motor, make sure you do some plug checks after some short runs before charging the hill.  If you're going to experiment with jetting and fuel/oil ratios, a little caution will save you some big money.  Once you have it right, go out and smoke those 4-strokes!

BrianSM:
Plus 1 for all the above recomendations.... for 40-1 synthetic, also 50/50 race and unleaded pump, 14/49 or 50 gearing........shut the motor down immediately then check the plug....mine is tan and is the stock heat range... the green bike will beat the snot out of a red bike.....go back to all stock settings and use all the recs....play with the gearing...the Kawi people had it pretty right on....I did the full cicle and went back to basics.....
