Hi guys
Just bought an atomik blitz 250 and put it together yesterday. Took it for a few quick laps of my street and it seemed to be going well. Electric start seems fantastic....first time every time. My problem today is that its really rough in idle and often just dies if you dont give it any gas regardless of choke position.
It seems to be getting enough fuel and air so im wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to track down the problem. Or maybe I would be better off taking it to a mechanic and getting him to tune it up properly? Not sure if its worth the cash
Heres a few more general questions...
Fuel octane:does it really make a difference? Its got regular fuel in it now. I assume it would really hate the ethanol stuff.
Coolant: Is regular car coolant ok or is there special bike stuff?
Other than putting the right fluids in and tightening every nut and bolt i can find is there anything else i should do?
Also...the engine says Mikilon on the side but the engine was advertised as a loncin. Did i get the right engine or have i been ripped off?
One more thing....
Oil: I got castrol GPS 10w50 4 stroke oil. The Atomik side said 10w40 but i cant imagine theres much difference? or should i be using run in oil?
Thanks!
