Re: Oil pump/reservoir/mix ratio confusion
32:1 is fine for a stock bike, just watch jetting.

Back the screw out a little more and it spews smoke just like my spree(with factory oiler) revving on the stand.

The first rule of project mayhem is to not ask questions about project mayhem.

That price is pushing it even if the bike is still in the crate.

maddog knows what he knows very well, but anything he doesn't know or hasn't heard of is always fake, wrong, or nonexistent if you ask him.

Re: Fickle Females
A stiffer center spring will give you take-off at the expense of cruising speed (most noticable at low throttle cruising) My road is an 18% grade and I do fine with a 1000 center spring (although I do have a ZX trans). SB has a fixed trans, center spring is strictly for belt tension, stiffer clutch...

Re: Gas Gauge
You can wire it to read half scale, buts its worthless that way. I just leave it unhooked, been meaning to apply 12 volts to the gauge and bring the needle to empty.

Re: Spree fuel tank stand pipe question
Anywhere between tank and carb is fine, Last time I pulled my screen out, I used a long screwdriver to carefully push it out through the gas tank filler.

Re: Bosch Spark Plug
NGK is all I put in my Japaneses stuff period, and all my motorized stuff is Japanese, except maybe the 92 Camry, not sure where the engine in that was made. I run champion plugs in briggs motors, just seems right.
