awesome thanks. 80:1 fuel mix is different to what I'm used to. Better drop out the 40:1 that's in there at the moment.

Just picked up a good condition for its age 96 jtr270. I have no manual for this bike and the first thing I want to do is service it, so I have a couple of questions. What is the fuel oil mix best to use? How much trans oil, and how often to change? best tire pressure? What spark plug...

ok, just had another look and can't see any spark:confused:

I was riding my bike yest (02 gasgas ec200) and I stalled the bike and then couldn't kick start it. I ended up crash starting it. Now it won't start unless it's crash started. So today I put a new plug in as thought it was just a fouled plug, but it still won't start. It was pretty dusty so I...

Nope, the little plastic bit that goes into the rebound tube had unscrewed itself. All sorted now thanks

I've just changed my fork seals again on my bike and put it back together. Only the rebound clicker on the top just keeps clicking and doesn't appear to stop. I've taken the top cap off and put it bak on. I adjusted my rebound last ride so I know it has been working. Any ideas what I'm doing...

You think thats bad, we haven't got any 08's here in New Zealand, only 07's. Not sure whats happening there????

Unfortunatly I won't get a chance to test it before I have to race the bike, but don't really want it running like crap. I don't live in the US so piperepair.com would have cost to much. Thanks

Just brought a FMF Gnarly for my ec200 as the Messico is to smashed and bent. Will I need to re-jet my bike at all?

what bike is it? might help with the answers.

Has anyone gone from a stock pipe to a FMF Gnarly on a EC200? What difference did you notice, and how much? Thanks

Had a goodcrash yesterday and bent the pipe so it now touches the radiator pipe. Can I rebend the pipe so it's more or less back to original shape. Would I leave the pipe on or take it off or leave it on the bike. Pipe is a messico. Thanks

The black pipes/tubes that come out of the p/v etc, does anyone have a good way to route these? Mine either seem to kink, or touch the pipe??? Thanks

just had another look and the gearing on mine is 12t - 48t???????

I'm not actually worried which bike has more power, just thought they'd feel the same, and then wondered if I had a problem with mine. So now thats cleared up, what gearing are you guys running on your 200's and for what sort of riding?
