Use a good oil you can afford to replace regularly. Any new reasonable quality oil is better then any oil thats done a feww hundred kilometers. So unless your buying Mobile 1 for $60 just get a good midrange like penrite, caltex, havoline specifically made for four stroke motor cycle engines...

Mat go to your local court and pay $90 to lodge a Claim against the prick. Print out his ebay add and dont phone him, use email only. As far as eBay thats weak as and is in breach of there policies. They say they will pursue people who act fraudulantly. It is clear he states a 3 month...

I dont know who gets a container here for $1500 the cheapest i could find was $5000+ for a one off shipment and that was getting four quotes. They may be cheaper from Shanghai, but not that much cheaper. You then have the cost from dock to wharehouse. Try some plumbing tape to get your cap...

Gazza that bike yoy got five of them sold last night for like $800 -$925 on eBay. People have gone mad. The wholesale price from manufaturers for that bike is $250 -275 US. Thats $366 aud based on 75c exch rate. Plus GST and 5% customs duty is $423.50 about less than$100 per bike freight...

Yep the last is about the best on ebay at the moment. but they arnt going for $850 anymore they are going for $1100 to $1295 getting a bit dear for what they are.

The popping and backfiring on shut off is perfectly normal. It means the pilot jet is lean when the engine is still spinning fast, but youve closed the throttle off and its now operating only on the pilot jet. Guys with WR250 and 450F's deliberately do a mod to the carbie to achieve that...

Check this out carefully cause the newer engine tuners do it different to the way it used to be done. You definitely want a big carbie and air intake (filter) but most modern port jobs dont enlarge the manifold they fill it and shape it with epoxy. The smaller manifold pulls unrestricted air...

Dont go for too much extra air unless you have a richer main jet, or you will be too lean. They only cost about $3 but its just a matter of having a few.

In mud its probably better to have backward. When youve got such under powered bikes everything helps. The bloke wanted free mods so thats one for him that will have some performance beneift. Not a huge amout, but what do you get fo free.

Its the same principle behind bonnet scoops on high performance cars and turbos. In simple terms if you provide intake pressure of air and fuel you get a bigger combustion explosion and higher power output from the engine. By facing the Carb and air filter forward the movement of the bike...

read the post above genius it was a tack on. Also take a look at the pros all changed to forward facing carbs, acts like a sump pressure fuel pump. Why dont you see if you can contribute Einstein.

Modiify carb and filter so you have a forward facing carb Also have a look at this http://dratv.com/dratv/125ccenginekit.html This site has all sorts of good stuff for Honda engines and includes heaps of free or low cost mods and ideas.

1. Make your own free flow filter. Make sure you use the cage of the old filter too keep back pressure. 2. Find a bigger kehin or mikini carbie like a 22mm, 24mm or 26mm of any old japanese mini bike. Most the china 110cc and 125 cc have 16mm standard. At tops the carbie might cost you $15...
