The following screen grab off a 1200cc BWM R nineT .... dude says a 17litre tank = estimated rage of 240km ... my Fat Bob with a 1584cc comes in at 16 liters = estimated range of 250km with a heavy wrist in city conditions. Hahaha, ja I had an odometer like that once. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted October 14, 2022 Share Simple Bru have upped their breakfast special Flat White with "Loaded Bun" (Bacon, egg, fried onion on a made in store from scratch rooster koek) for R70.00. It is worth every cent. Not to mention the ample motorbike parking right next to the café Andrew_Smith, sawystertrance, WaynejG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongooser Posted October 17, 2022 Share Any 2 stroke experts here? My Yz125 fouls plugs constantly along with my sisters yz85. Both bikes run crisp and dont bog. ride them for 2 hours and they bog and foul the plugs. Yz125 is at 40-1 yz85 is 36-1. tried a 7 to 9 plug in both bikes. is it jetting or our riding style that causes it? Never had to touch jetting so not sure whats the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be to much oil in the mix ? Usually the fuel:oil ratio stated is what the manufacturer deems correct for constant full throttle use.

Usually the fuel:oil ratio stated is what the manufacturer deems correct for constant full throttle use. we manually mix our own gas, My EC300 has oil injection but our yz's dont sadly. The manual do recommends 32-1 for both bikes, ive always ran 40-1 and my sister does 36-1 since she lugs the bike more. if we run 32-1 the bikes bog like mad and sputter oil all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
