deank Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Hi, I have just picked up a 1996 jtr 160 to have ago at some trial riding. The bike seems great but I can find any info or parts suppliers for this model? Can anyone help? Service information would be a great help. What fuel mix to run, what oil to use in the gearbox and how much, fork oil and quantity ect. Thanks for any help Edited June 16, 2016 by deank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deank Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Do they use the same shock on various models? I can rebuild and charge it with nitrogen myself, I just can't find a rebuild kit for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbutler Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Shocks have been changed from time to time my bud has a 96? contact 250 and I have a 01 txt 280 both have different shocks. My shock is a sealed unit I assume yours is the same. I think Splat has someone that mods them to make them rebuildabl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Does anyone know if the air filter in the jtr 160 is the same as other models as again I can't find one specific for the 160? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Thanks for the explanation Jim, I have a 96 air box. And I will have a look at similar size engine air filters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Jim snell, going back a few posts in your video on gearbox oil you recommend 5w30, do you mean motorcycle 4T oil or car engine oil? And do you recommend any particular brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybond700 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 It needs to be working with wet clutches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
