iceman Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Sorry to post again about my bike on a banshee forum... but The guy I bought it from said it doesn't take pre mixed gas. I was under the impression that all two strokes need pre mixed gasoline, my little brother also has a friend who has an RM80 or something like that and its a 2 stroke and it doesnt take pre mix either. Whats the deal? I don't understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuAdRaCeR^775 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 RM80's Do take premix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted September 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I dunno if it's an RM80, I know its a Suzuki and its a two stroke, and its pretty small, it's also older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuAdRaCeR^775 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 If its 2 stroke its gotta be getting oil somehow, maybe like a stock blasters oil injection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehall1 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 yeah if its a 2 stroke it uses oil and gas mix. they"re either mixed and put in gas tank or it has a seperate oil tank for the oil injection system like he said.

iceman Posted September 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 My bikes in the shop right now, I'm calling today anyway to check and see what it needs. I'll find out whats up. Either the guy i bought it from didnt run pre mix or theres an injection system somewhere. Anyone have photos of an injection system, or where it might be?

Banshee~ Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 It uses premix...nobodys going to put that extra weight on the bike if its going to mx'ing...there must be a misunderstanding ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted September 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 (edited) Got it all cleared up. It DOES take pre-mix. The guy I bought it from bought it from never rode it, he only had it for 3 months and he had bought it from his friend, so my bike does take pre mix, thank god I didn't gas the bike up. I have no clue how to mix oil though... . When you change the oil on your bike you have to change the oil in your mix right? What ratios do you guys recommend? I found a ratio calculator so I can mix oil now, but how do you figure the right amount to use without a calculator? To mix the oil do you just dump it in the gas and shake it a little bit, or do you have to stir it, or do you just leave it?

iceman Posted September 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 (edited) The bike shop changed my oil, should I use whatever they used? Thanks for all your help with my non banshee related problems. I dunno where else to go. Went to the bikeshop today to check on my bike, Needs new rear brakes and a rear tire. The guy told me not to worry about the forks bleeding until later. Everything is gonna cost about 200 bucks. I have 450 left so its all good.

racer Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 The bike shop changed my oil, should I use whatever they used? no, they used an oil thats meant to be in the gearcase. what you put in your premix is different. until you find something really good i would just run the lube that you particular brand makes. yamaha makes 2r for their bikes so im sure that suz. makes something also.
