I have three petrol cans which this started off from i use to motocross, all you do is premix them into the cans.. 5 min job, when one or two are empty just fill them back up
keeps the premix cycle flowing & the tank on the bike  |

It is a fag as A: you need to carry a bottle of 2-smoke oil. and B you need something to measure it at the pump!! ... the marks on the side are hardly an accurate measure ... you need to also calculate how much you need depending on how much went in the tank ... not massively hard sums, but again, you need an accurate measure to get it 'right' ...
Having jerry cans full of the stuff is no use to you on a days green laning!!  ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |

It's a trials engine in a low enduro frame.
It has it's uses, but I wouldn't recommend one unless height is a big issue for you.
As above, a small bottle (babies milk bottles often used) with graduations marked off in litres of petrol makes it hardly any more hassle to use premix - and you get a lot more fun . |

Again, the bottle carrying it is also a measuring bottle, so not a massive incovenience. For a day's laning I take a small bottle of 300ml, this gives me enough to mix with 15 litres of fuel. The marks on the bottle are accurate enough.
To work out how much to put in is very easy - the amount of petrol in millilitres/50 - or if you have an iPhone, there's an app for that
Anyway, let's not derail this thread too much. |
Can you get 300ml bottles?!?!? or do you mean you bought a little measure bottle 'specially?
At 50:1 the sums are easy i.e. 20ml/L, so that isn't an issue .. but it is the measuring with some degree of accuracy that is the irritation ... so you put in 6.3l and you need to measure 126ml .... I'd want something with 10ml graduations before I was happy ... i.e. I'd measure between the 120 and 130 marks and go for that, or lets be honest, I'd prolly just put 130ml in in that instance ...
Sure it is not insurmountable problem ... I could even make/take my own little measuring pot (like I have for all my pre-mix engines) to get it a bit more accurate. But point is, whichever way you look at it, it IS more of a fag than NOT having to measure it at all (i.e. oil injected).  ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |

If its a short bike then I deffo don't want it, one of the problems I have with the KLR is the lack of ground clearance! It is especially notable when bouncing over whoops and with the deep jeep ruts where my pegs are in the rut too giving me minimal room for error!
See it is always best to ask the masses before buying!!  ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |
