[QUOTE="FrogTownUSA, post: 1188929, member: 77013"] I recently got the same bike ,a 2002 Yz85 for my 11 yr old son, and a 99 Yz400f for me (Dad). The Yz400f is just fine for trails. I put a bigger sprocket in the back , thats it! Ready to fly! That bad boy will climb almost straight up at low speeds. Ok, not straight up, I just feels that way .Especially for an old man with little experience. "Big nads" , little experience. I never knew what "Slow" was. Anywho... What "oil/gas" mixture are you using for trail riding in that Yyz85? I've already dropped his mixture to 40:1 and that bad boy still smokes like the dickens at lower, slower type trail riding speeds. We have also been using NGK BR9ES plugs-$1.77 at Advanced Auto What brand oil should we use? Also, what "plug"? And, what "jets" if you changed them? It fouls plugs pretty quick if you dont keep it in the pipe. Its fine running it in the pasture while in the pipe, but I'm sure trail riding will foul the plug with the setup that our bike came with. Suggestions! I also heard "AMSOIL" was good. They said you can mix that stuff 100:1 .(Not that I'd try it in my bike, maybe 50:1) Sign , 51 yr old Rookie on a Yz400f... Froggie Thanks for your time!
