williamd Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hi there. Can anyone recommend the best kind off 2 stroke oil to use in a premix TY175. The guy i got it off says to use any kind of oil at 40-1.? Also did these bikes not originally have oil pumps? Any advice welcome.

kevin j Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 yes, they had autolube injection. Pump on right front, tank under left side cover. I have one street legal TY175 with injection, one trials TY with injection removed. Reliability was an issue, weight of pump ant tank of oil, and extra pull of the cables makes throttle not as precise. DON'T use 'any kind of oil'-use a good synthetic two stroke air cooled oil TC-W motor boat oils are for water cooled boats. 4 stroke engine oils have other additives that are detrimental in a two stroke. I run 60:1 in all the aircooled stuff we have, 92 or better gas, and synthetic oil kcj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
