ozbanshee Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 You will probably get a lot of different response to this question (do a search if you want them all). In my opinion just go easy on it for at least a tank of juice. Ride it gently for ten minute or so then pull over and let it cool down again. good chance to check nothing has fallen off or leaked. You should be pretty safe bringing it up high in the revs, just be sure not to hop on and ring its neck. Bit like a new girlfriend, treat it gently till you get to know how it's going to respond, once your tired of that get nasty with it. :biggrin: Just use whatever premix you are going to use all the time. Hope this is of some help. Good to here about some more shee's in this part of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
