xt45 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 (edited) Why didn't Yamaha add oil injection systems that mix the oil and gas automatically ? what is the disadvantage of have this oil injection system in Banshee. currently you have to do the pre-mix but with the oil injection system you have to only pour gas in the tank and yamalube in another small tank that the oil injection system will take care of it as far as mixing is concerned. Yamaha could have also put an option to switch off the Oil Injection System so those who want to do thier own mixing ratio can do so. Edited August 23, 2004 by xt45 Quote
Nighty Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 Automatic Oil mixing is unreliable. Premix rules. Quote
deathmetal5150 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 They have a tendency to clog up, thus, you'd have a serious problem on your hands. Do it yourself, it may take a few more minutes, but at least you know its properly mixed and ready to go. Quote
nater006 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 Plus, less crap to worry about going bad on the machine. Sure it'd be nice to be able to top off a nice (heavy) oil resevoir and just tank up on straight gas or race fuel, but there's more moving parts to go bad, more weight, etc. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 Yeah what they said. My sister used to have a blaster, and I don't know if it was mechanical or what , but when you would take off that damned red light would light up. Who knows if it was getting oil or not. We assumed it was. It would also light up for no reason. Thats the biggest bitch is you have to depend on a mechanism to dispense the proper amount of oil per gas amount fed into the engine. When you mix it, you KNOW its there in the tank waiting to be burned. Quote
Ducman Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 Yeah, Oil injection, U dont want it. Recently my wifes blasters blew up because it went out. Then you end up buying them a YZF 450 even after the blaster is rebuilt better than new because you get tired of hearing how you ride a nice new quad and all they got is a cheap used piece of shit. J/K It wasn't like she had to twist my arm very hard for me to get one for her as long as I get to ride it of coarse! Quote
. Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 they actually do make very reliable injection systems on snowmobiles, but they arent as worried about weight, and the design allows for it more I guess. Also another note, did the rz350 have oil injection? I think thats premix as well isnt it? That would pretty much sum it up if it was. Quote
Nighty Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 My rd/rz 350 did have oil injection. but the oil pump was wacky so i switched to premix.. Did the same with my 70cc scooter / moppet or whatever you guys call em over there.. Removed the oil injection stuff, removed water pump and switched to a lightweight electrical waterpump. Great improvement.. Quote
stclark04 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 i remember back when i had my blaster i took the oil injection deal off and mixed my own gas, i was always affraid it wouldnt work right.. Quote
Banshee~ Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 Did the same with my 70cc scooter / moppet or whatever you guys call em over there.. We call them modpeds/scooters This weekend im puting a block off plate on my friends blaster..premixing isent bad and you can pick the ratio Quote

frocashmoney24 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 yea, my friend got a 02 blaster a lil ago, and first thing we did was put a oil blockoff in it, if it got clogged or didnt work properly your engine would fry and you wouldent know about it, i would never put it on a banshee! Quote
sredish Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 why didn't they put nicer shocks? why didn't they put electric start? why didn't they put a wider chassis? why didn't they put on powervalves? why didn't they put on more aggressive tires? why didn't they make a better air intake? why why why Quote
