I just finished my AutoX and decided that I needed something bigger. I bought this off of the original owner last week. He gave me the original title, receipt, and service/owner's manual for it. I'm very excited about it, but I'm going to have tons of questions. I hope everyone is ready for them. :D :beer

1st question is Yamalube is the only local 2stroke oil available. Is this OK? The people in my area are running it 37/1

2nd I took the airbox off so the filter is completly exposed. I was thinking of adding a Dial A Jet. Would that be a good move? It seems to be running lean.

3rd I love my new beast :D :naughty: ;) :beer :TrikesOwn
Dammit!

Put the airbox lid back on. :p

Seriously, running without the lid will allow for more airflow. Either jet up to match it or put the lid back on. Check your jetting regardless though.

I have a dial-a-jet on my Z and it works great. I run with no lid also but im jetted for it.

How come it has different colored body parts in every picture?

When I first got it, it had a white front fender. So the 1st and last photos are of it right after I got it. The middle one is after I sanded and used Fusion (black) paint on it. Right now the rear fenders are also black, but I didn't have any pics of it like that.

You had a factory white front Tri-Z fender and you painted it black?! :confused:
