Re: Gig Welsh puddles

U need to get some proper air filter oil, either online or from a bike/mx shop. I personally like stuff called no toil as u can wash it in the washing machine!! U can buy a kit that comes with the oil, cleaner and grease which u put around the bottom of the filter where it fits on to the air box. If...

Re: Gig Welsh puddles

My guess would be water getting through ur air filter. I have had this happen before on my yz125 in really wet conditions and once I had cleaned the carb out and replaced air filter it was running sweet again. Just make sure you oil ur filter well and evenly, best way is to wring it out once u've oi...

Hi from another Newbie

Hi all, just picked up a mk2.2 (I think thats right?) 1993. Can't wait to get out on some trails/enduros after giving up MX a couple of years ago to get a Ninja. But that had to go as I just can't resist twisting the throttle and being a family man now it had to go before I did! Only done about 10 m...
