Here we go again with a post from the mad crazy woman!
People buy water-cooled two stroke bikes for fun, not serious transport solutions. You ride them, thrash them (once warm) and then you re-build them and do it all again.
Nobody wants to prolong the life of a two stroke bike (engine wise) as they can afford to service, rebuild and fix them when they blow up without a second thought.
If they can't afford to do the above, then sell up and GTFO of two stroke bike ownership, and leave it to those that can.
They also like to make sure their bikes are well looked after and that everything works that should do like the lights for example.  |

Dont fall of - it hurts
Lessons and licences can help here.
Meanwhile, I doubt opening statement that its 'finally' road-worthy, or will be for very long, and we know that its learner-illegal and you dont have a licence to be riding it, so all rather irrelevent, and what you are asking us to do is aid and abet you in your illegal activity likely to get you very badly hurt... especially as you cant go round round-a-bouts safely.... rain or no rain!!!!
But having rejected just about any and every shred of helpful advice you have been offered on here by, well, pretty much any-one...
WHY? Do you ask for more? Will you take it?

The powerband for 2 strokes is much higher than 4 strokes so thrashing the hell out of it is to be expected (not from cold ofc) as you literally do twice the rpms for the same number of bangs.
Blowing it up is all part of the process: gives you an excuse to stick a bigger barrel on, port it or some other 2 stroke black magic.
Looks like a lethal death machine, judging from Google images, so I'd worry about how good your leathers are before worrying about the engine

Well, I did, at least.

What you choose to ride and your licence entitlement to do so, is neither here nor there to me, really.... if you want to break the law, go break the law... I'm not the one that'll get points and fines.
BUT... the here and now is that you CANT ride (safely!) and hey-ho, well, its still not my arse at risk of gravel-rash, either....
And you seem ardent in only considering that advice that supports your presumed criminal mastermind of trying to cheat the system, to ride a bike you don't have the skill or licence to.
What you say you need is a bike that will get you to and from work as regular commuter, and capable and comfy of some longer haul runs... something 'like' a 500 commuter twin... but, out of absolutely perversity, rather than ride one of them, no-licence, no insurance, no training.... you choose an NSR125 'cos, 'cos 'cos .. most of which seem to be that you are scrared you might be more readily knobbled for the legalities of riding off-the-books, and tackling the tests is too hard and or tooo expensive, and too scary.
As said however many posts ago; you are picking the problems of preference to tackle, and trying to do an ostritch on the real ones, and convince yourself of the borrocks you have used to kid yourself this bit of criminal genius is 'such' a good idea.... and that riding off-the-books, is SO much better than getting trained, getting safe and doing it perfectly legally, on a bike that actually could be a practical, reliable every-day commuter with ummpety more oomph than a cantankerousness de-restricted NSR
That has to be bump-started.. 'cos knackered starter. That has, now, no lights, so it cant be used even pretend legally in reduced viability, like when it raining! That's still a scrap-heap refugee being tickled along, on a wing and a prayer, likely to get you IN to trouble, whether that's fined to feck for not having licence to ride it, or dragged down the tarmac under a scania 'cos you dont have the nouse either.
THIS bike, as is, is NOT a solution to eff-all of your transport problems... its just another one... adding more to the list as it goes.
And you are STILL looking for magic work-arounds, get-outs and cheats, trying to be clever, rather than bitre the fugging bullet and tackle the ONE problem that might save you some real pain and a whole lot of hassle, AND let you legally ride the bike you need and presumeably want... GET TRAINED, TAKE TESTS!
Its hardly like doing a Phd in Astro-Phissics or having to spend a decade learning how to stick your arm up a cows arse; folk do it in a week, via DAS course.....
How hard do you REALLY want to make things for yourself, and how much patience do you expect us to have indulging these kiddie go kwik fantasies to dodge learning to ride?

Little bit of a rather wide generalisation that... my strimmer is a two-stroke... I suppose you could say it has a very 'on-off' power band... b-u-t? It's all relative.. the Cota, tuned for torque, has a power-band from tick-over to where it runs out of revs at about 6ooo.... mot all two-strokes are in motorbikes, let alone highly tuned.

A yes, its that oft forgot gearbox oil in a two-stroke, cos the 'engine-oil' oil is added with the petrol.
Still should be changed though, and I was surprised how often, actually.
The old Cota needs three oils; Two-Stroke in the petrol, 10w40 in the 'primary drive' and clutch, and EP90 in the box.
I was just looking at the owners manual at the laughabloe gear/speed chart... its apparently geared for 72mph in top, at 7ooorpm... yeah.. like it will ever go much over 55!
BUT, it says that the primary drive and gear-box oils should be changed 'Every two or three races' So every 3oo miles or so! (no I haven't missed a naught there! Yes 300 miles, that's two or three four hour 'races' at an average 30mph!)
Owners book actually gives various recipes for mixing 'Petroil', & suggests 'about' a 3% oil mix, but also offers guidelines to vary that according to whether you are using mineral oil, or vegetable oil, and how much washing up liquid to add to 'emulsify' either in the petrol!
Oh! oil-injection was SUCH an important innovation!
Which has me shaking my head at the suggestion I'd be horrified at how she scavenged the two-stroke oil! No.. no I wouldn't...
Exited perhaps, if it involved a Berlesque fan-dance type act with a bottle of baby oil, images of which were evoked by Sledge's suggestion of doing it with a kitchen whisk... but still....
She probably has absolutely no idea about looking at 2T tanks that had been topped up with mineral oil on top of castrol R with more than a little chip fat nicked off mum, and some lard congealed in the bottom, after some-one had siezed a GP100 or similar 'back in the day', and trying to scoop it out with a tea-spoon and welding rod and rince the dregs with thinners,hoping the bludy polythene of the tank wouldn't melt! Ooooh themz was the days!
