    My new project. (85 Tri Z)

    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.

    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

    Put the airbox lid back on.

    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.

    It's that new color that changes colors on different angles.

    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?!
