A Question of Sparks and other things

[ruralsteve]

Hi

I've just picked up my shiny new(ish) NSR125R and i'm very pleased with it so far. But as its new to me i'd like to do all the maintenance work you do to a second hand bike. Unfortunately the bike didn't come with a workshop manual and i'm finding it hard to find the following info

Spark Plug Gap Size
Tyre Pressures
Engine oil Type (10/40?)
Recommended 2 Stroke Oil

Hope you can help this forum newbie.

Hey mate! Welcome to the NSR group

Spark Plug Gap Size - 0.7 - 0.8 mm (0.028 - 0.031 in)
Tyre Pressures - 30psi front, 33psi rear
Engine oil Type (10/40?) - check for what the guys say!
Recommended 2 Stroke Oil - Castrol 2-stroke

Hope this helps you dude!
You will have to put up a few pictures of your bike!

Cheers for that, should help loads. New plug is on order and (correctly gapped) should smooth out a few bumps in the acceleration. I'll get a picture of my bike up in the next few days, its a Red/White/Black '97 import.

thanks again

Nice sounding colour scheme! Is it in the same style as the one on mine then as it is an import?

No, it looks a little different. Not quite as nice as yours if i'm honest . But I think its pretty cool.

Thanks dude! Im sure your's looks real cool! All of the imports have something different about them! Happy birthday by the way!
