autolube engine G2

Ive owned one for 5 years and its OK. smaller carb, slightly different fixing in the exhast stub, slightly altered porting makes it a more smoother hit with no quite as much power. Still a nice motor though with no premixing!!!!

If you use the oil pump make sure you prime it well before running even with a tank of premix. Air locks in the pump itself are pretty difficult to get rid of.

block off the autolube, and premix it... safer bet

I have a1990 sr.The main difference is the smaller carb,7mm smaller.Its agood engine with agood spread of power for trail riding.
Ive bored the carb to 30mm,modded the expansion,fitted 607 boysen reeds,junked the airbox lid.This really woke it up.I ride mainly green lanes and have found it to be a good match with my friends xr400.With the smaller carb Im getting 75 miles before I hit reserve.
Wouldnt mind it in a kx 125 myself. :ride:
