I change my oil every 25 hours and check the valve lashes. Very simple to do. Use a tachometer/hour counter. Get an siphon pump either manual or electric. Even at a low average speed of 15 mph that's still 375 miles between changes. Oh by the way my engine is 13 years old.
The 2 stroke is great for trips. When I build my new bike I will have no problems taking it 20 miles in to town and back (40 mi round trip)
If ya buying the "El Cheapo Grande" kits on Ebay or the other cheap sites, then you would be right, spend a little more for better quality kits and its a whole other story...lol...lol.
That's the main issue with newbies building these. They try to build the cheapest bike they can, but also the fastest. That is just a deadly combination.
Also throwing good money away after bad trying to chase the dream...lol...You can't polish a turd and expect it to turn into gold...lol.
I thought the mythbusters actually did polish turds? wasn't gold but it sure was shiny, I think
Yes, really! Generally speaking 2 strokes use more fuel. for a similar sized engine. Not always, but in general.
That tiny print font is really not fair...You know I have vision problems right now...I know it is supposed to be print but it so small it is just a long squiggle to my eyes at present time with my eye sight problems...My screen is on 150% for magnification as well.
It says "Generally speaking 2 strokes use more fuel. For a similar sized engine. Not always, but in general"
