Helmet fit?

2 stroke oil facts & myths
" Fully synthetic is fine for modern motors, not for our 50 year old ones. I think I have tried most, but have settled on Lucas semi sync. At around 32 to 1, that is 187 cc to 6 litres of fuel. I may be right, or wrong, but my motors run just fine at that. " This statement was posted in another forum, I asked for some evidence, or even a hair brained explanation, nothing !! I'm not sure the o p actually rides at all, who mixes up 6 litres of 2 stroke ? Is that overfilling a 5L can, or part filling a 10L can ? Anybody care to comment ?

1989 Fantic 305 - Clutch Not Working
@Leigh see lineaway's answer above, what you are describing is classic for a bike sitting unused. Unless the carb was dry when stored, chances are it will need stripped and cleaned.

What's the problem ? Not disengaging ? Hydraulic, cable ? Clutch is on the other side.

Tyre
If your still using a tube with the tubeless tyre, trimming the bead with a Stanley knife to a profile similar to a tube type tyre will also work. Do this at your own risk.

@johnjsy. Sorry to hijack thread, but why do you say fully synthetic oils are not suitable for older engines ?

smokey mar
I'd give it a chance to clean out any build up of old 2stroke in engine / exhaust before looking for a problem. Then wet side crank seal. Burning engine / gear oil looks and smells differently from 2stroke.

Petrol tanks
I'm sure that's true of many plastics, my experience is with Acerbis tanks and guards. Identical stickers will last till they wear away on guards, but lift rapidly on tanks.

Petrol tanks
I agree that ultra violet must be a major factor, however they definitely seep vapour as stickers last days rather than weeks before falling off.
