Years ago I raced Mx and had YZF 400 Yamaha .If it sat for a week I was difficult to start but if I drained the fuel and put fresh fuel in started no probs. Someone told me about the fuel loosing its kick in a plastic can so i put an alloy tank on the bike solved all the problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyjazz Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Some of the pump gas over here is just so awful with up to 20% ethanol added...i know its a bit more expensive but i found my '74 Ty250 loves this stuff (fully synthetic) and runs like a dream!

I use that in my saws, other than the expense I would have no problem using it my bikes. Bel Ray makes Husky oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
