    What are we using for premix?

    Over my riding career I've used (in chronological order) Golden Spectro Yamalube Duralube Maxma super M back to Yamalube and now Mobil 1 MX2T I can't help but feel like I'm cheating my bike by not giving it premix from the $tealer. I know the Mobil is good stuff and it's a real treat to...

    Rust and storage...again

    I rode my dirt bike for the first time in 6 years last weekend ('95 KTM 250SX). I replaced the fuel, gearbox oil and cleaned and oiled the air filter. Now, that rusty crank thread has me worrying. I didn't do anything to it other than turn the fuel petcock off before I 'stored' it. I bought the...

    Fuel Pump failure trick

    No, no, no. You got it all wrong. You gotta fill the windshield washer reservoir with fuel, rig the end of the hose to the top of the carb or into the fuel rail, and squirt fuel in via the wash button. When she starts to sputter, wash the windshield again.

    Engine idling and oil dilution ?

    I went camping last weekend and ended up sleeping in my truck. The engine idled all night. There also was Iso Heat in the gasoline. Would the extended idling cause significant oil dilution? I changed the oil (with 1500 miles on it) just to be safe (and ahhh well, because I'm a BITOGer).

    Lubricants for motocross use.

    got a new yamaha banshee last week.

    I'm buying the last year CR250R made. I hear it's this year, but I'm going to wait until the '07's come out to make sure. I'll be using 15w40 HDMO and MX2T.

    Use the rubber washer with Fumoto or copper

    I used 2 copper washers because the threads stuck up too far in the oil pan without them. No leaks in 40,000+ miles.

    Wax vehicle once a year, what to use?

    What would you use if you hand waxed your vehicle once a year? I don't really care about shine as much as durability, and it has to be readably available at a local store.
