Schizo Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Just change the oil and do a compression check to see if the pistons or rings are worn out and make sure the airfilter is clean, thats a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Check all bolts after every 2-3 rides if you ride hard, especially the allen bolts by the front spindles. Mine used to come loose on me until I loctited the hell out of them. Change tranny oil about every 12-15hrs and find a good 2 stroke oil and stick with it.

banshee76179 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Oil plug is under neath the motor.... Check oil for metal shaving... If none fill from dipstick by the kick starter.. 1.5 or 1.6 ml tans oil check dipstick Compression check.... Pull plugs get a gauge"autozone" or any auto parts store.... W/tester on and kick with throttle engaged kick 3 or 4 times and check see if your compression holds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Make sure you have some chain lube, I like Maxima Chain Wax, but everybody has their own tastes, and put it on when the bikes been warmed up a little. Get some air filter cleaner spray and filter oil spray. Spray the filter with the cleaner, hose it down, let it dry then spray on the oil. You need to keep that air filter clean. Buy 6 new spark plugs; put 2 new ones in the motor, keep 2 on the machine, and 2 in your toolbox. I'd say get the BR8EIX Iridium plugs, a little more expensive but burn much hotter and harder to foul in a rich environment. One of the most important things to do is get a service manual. Easiest place to get it is from your dealer. This will tell you how to adjust the chain (very important), change the oil, and every other little maintenance thing that needs to be done and when. It will also tell you how to do just about anything else to the bike, as your experience and experimentalness grows. This board is a great place to learn, and I'm sure we'll think of some other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
