  • @jrshaunwhite
    @jrshaunwhite 4 года назад +1

    I dont know if the short shifting has to do with this. But you said you put 10w-40 in it. But since its a two stroke the cylinder gets its lubrication and oil from the pre mix. So a proper 80w gear oil is recommended for filling up the case and not 10w-40. Most all two stroke dirt bikes take an 80-85w gear oil. So maybe that will help with the shifting

    Hanging idle is to lean on the pilot jet adjust the air fuel screw to richen it up at idle ..go up 2 on the main jet for the cold weather.. cant go by the OEM specs since it has a pipe on it.

  • @jerryb84

    Btw, the chrome polish won’t work well on headers because it’s formulated to polish nickel playing which is what chrome actually is and due to the high heat that a given off from the exhaust, it’ll fade pretty quickly. You can honestly use basic rubbing compound and/or metal polish and it’ll last a whole lot longer. I’ve used that stuff for years and even used it to polish rims and other metal surfaces. I mean, I know you know what you’re doing but that’s just my .02, lol.
