July 10, 200719 yr hello, i was wondering if anyone could tell me the amount of engine oil i put in to my gasgas bike? and also how much folk oil that goes in cheers phil
July 10, 200719 yr this is some info that i had from my 98 tx250 TYRE PRESSURE FRONT 6PSI BACK 4 PSI OIL PREMIX AT 70:1 (70ML PER 5 LITRES) WHEEL BEARINGS 6004 2RS SWINGARM BEARINGS HK1520 2RS FORK OIL 7.5 WEIGHT 330ML IN EACH LEG GEARBOX OIL 10W40, 650ML RADIATOR 500Ml PURE ANTIFREEZE (CASTROL) CHAIN TENSION TIGHTEN CHAIN UNTIL YOU CAN GET ONE FINGER BETWEEN TENSIONER AND FRAME CARB AIR/FUEL MIXTURE 3.5 TURNS OUT SPARK PLUG BP5ES
July 11, 200719 yr That's a good list. Best not to use a multi grade oil in the gearbox though, causes clutch drag. Use a straight 10 weight mineral oil only, or an ATF rated to Dexron III, never a synthetic. Re-fill with 700ml. I always run fuel/oil at 50:1 with a mineral oil, but then I am old fashioned and like to see a 2 stroke smoke a little. My preference for fork oil is 280ml 5 weight in each leg, I guess this is rider dependant. Bye, PeterB.
