after i washed the bike i took the seat off and saw how dirty the ait box and filter were so i cleaned the air box with a damp cloth then looked at the air filter and saw it was very very greasy like it was covered in bearing grease and a little bit of dirt but i just washed the filter with soapey water and it is still stickey and slimey and bluish so does this mean i need a new filter

also can i get some maintainance tips for big bikes also what oil and mixing ratio

any help apriciated

the filter is sticky cos it has air filter oil on it mate. ya gotta renew the oil watch this Foam Air Filter Cleaning and Oiling by Yamaha Motor Corp. - YouTube

im not sure bout oil fuel mixture. i only ride 4 bangers. hope it all goes wel for ya mate .

 

[westy465]

depends on your oil lil buddy. some oils will go 40:1, some say 32:1, i have even done 50:1 just to be rad.

it isnt filter oil its proper grease i run my finger across the out side and grease came off?...

 

[ATOMIKRIDER22]

some oils will go 40:1, some say 32:1,

well does oil mixing ratio effect power and engine life if so i think it has enuff power
and want it to last longer betwen rebuilds and so on

 

[sean01]

40:1 or even 50:1 will suit bush riding for someone NOT flogging the hell out of it

32:1 is a safe mix.. plenty of lube...

as for engine life... its a 2 stroke.. if you want it to last dont ride it lol... but more importantly its a secondhand bike so theres no telling on what life its had previously....

wash tht air cleaner out in kero or diesel (not petrol) not sure about the grease but i do know that some filter oils can go like that if you use too much....

grease around the sealing area is good tho...

32:1 for life yo
