stclark04 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Just make sure you keep up on the maintenance.. Change oil frequently since you will be riding everyday. As long as you take care of it, it wont let you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 get a clymers manual. change the gear oil alot. make sure your pre mix is mixed right. make sure your jetting is right. keep you air filter clean. these are just some simple things to get you started.

BenBB Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Yep, take care of her and she'll take care of you. Looks great BTW. If you've got Wiseco pistons, they are forged. I would suggest letting it warm up fully to allow the pistons to expand before you really get on it. At least 3-5 minutes of idling should do it. An aftermarket or homemade temp gauge would be a good idea, as you can tell when it's warm (I let mine get to 100F before it moves), it'll also let you know when it's TOO hot (200F or over). As loco and stclark said, you'll want to change the tranny oil regularly. There's no oil filter like a 4-stroke but the oil also doesn't hafta lubricate the motor, just the trans gears and clutch. I change mine once a month riding every weekend, so if I was riding every day I'd shoot for at least once a week...along with cleaning the air filter, washing her real good, greasing all the zerks, oiling the chain (and check the chain tension). Be careful to premix the oil & fuel right, and stay on top of the jetting (I might suggest scoping out the FAQ below). Ride hard and have fun...

fenshee Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 thanks benbb. loco and stclark , i will keep all that in mind... some time ago i posted a new thread about the mixture but no one replied me, perhaps you couldnt tell me the oil/fuel mix rate in cm3, dont know... so if you can tell me what oil do you use, for both things, gear and premix would be very helpfull!! and the mix rate in inches (i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclark04 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Yes, a K & N Filter would serve you well, that is always my first mod on every fourwheeler Ive ever owned. As for the premix, we use Klotz oil. We mix 40:1, if you buy klotz, it will have a ratio chart on the side of the bottle. We use EXL for the gear oil. When I say "we" I mean my brother and I. Many people use different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
