first thoughts... ring a ding ding ding ding. tis lovely. needs matching tyres and the exhausts gaskets replacing but other than that. spot on. takes a bit of getting used to and I don't think I've been up and down a set of gears since I last had a two stroke. ring a ding ding ding ding. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.info/faq/ YZF-R1 : FZ1N : RD350LC keeper of the FAQ for my sins MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
Wahey! Top stuff, that LCist. I had a bit of that just now, having given the CBX its obligatory run round the block[1]. CBXs do not pull from 2k like I expected it to. That CB13 has made my left foot even lazier than it was. [1] First one was aborted due to running rough and coughing to a halt at the lights. 18.35 litres (in a 20l tank) of unleaded sorted that problem out. By 'eck, them brakes are crap.
that's what I thought when I couldn't find my post! -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.info/faq/ YZF-R1 : FZ1N : RD350LC keeper of the FAQ for my sins MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
its got Castrol two stroke oil in...just not quite sure which one. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.info/faq/ YZF-R1 : FZ1N : RD350LC (anyone would think I was partial to Yamahas) keeper of the FAQ for my sins MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
I'm sure you know you can't mix Castrol R with other stuff, & therefore need to find out what's in it.
It hasn't got old style Castrol R in it - I'm pretty sure there's some Castrol semi synth racing oil like A747 with a castor base in there, cos it smells all Castrol R when it's running but the guy said it was a synth oil he was using. I think Adie needs to give the guy a call and ask him to read out to her what's on the bottle he was using.
I've already sent him an email. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.info/faq/ YZF-R1 : FZ1N : RD350LC (anyone would think I was partial to Yamahas) keeper of the FAQ for my sins MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
Didn't think you could get that these days? Could be B353 if it's not R40. Definitely. If it is B353, you can't even mix it with other castor based oils.
He's put a small sticker stating 'Castrol Racing 2 Stroke' on the plastic folder containing the documents but that's not very specific is it? We did ask what he'd put in it but he was a bit vague so the best hope is that he's got another bottle of whatever it is for his other LC.
email received and he says TTS which is available from my local halfrauds. I'll pop in this week and buy some and see if that offer for screwdrivers includes this. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.info/faq/ YZF-R1 : FZ1N : RD350LC (anyone would think I was partial to Yamahas) keeper of the FAQ for my sins MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
Nice one. I met Krusty, Charlene and Brownz at Avebury on Weds evening. On the way there, as I hurtled across the downs, I breathed in and thought "there's a 2-stroke ahead on me somewher". Sure enough, a mile or two later I over-took a beautiful white thing that I initially thought was an Aprilia RS250. But, when he turned up at the pub, it turned out to be an RGV250 with a jap import body kit on it. It was *fabulous*. http://www.flickr.com/photos/97296479@N00/3668756719/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/97296479@N00/3669568280/ And then a GT250 turned up, then an RD, then another RGV. http://www.flickr.com/photos/97296479@N00/3669676912/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/97296479@N00/3668887935/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/97296479@N00/3668887951/ I think I may need to own a two stroke for a while... <goes for lie down>
I had one of those exactly like that when I lived in Trowbridge. That one is an import from USA though, and I think my old one is long dead.

I quite liked this one at Stratford a couple of weeks ago. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25143643@N07/3669205489/
CIHAGM? I nearly bought one, but after finding out how quickly it exceeded the speed limit down the A59, bought the Kwak 750 instead...and got points on my licence for speeding. -- Lesley Residing in the Capital of Culture 2008 CBR600FW Peugeot 206 S SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18
