budpat105 said:What premix oil and ratio.
Any good (known brand) of 2 stroke premix oil. I run Kawasaki's Racing 2 Stroke. Mix it at 32:1 (4oz/gal gas)
How much and what type of gearbox oil. Kawasaki recommends 10W-30 or 10W-40 MOTORCYCLE OIL (4 stroke) in the gearbox. It takes 0.7 liters....or until the oil level is in the center of the sight window with the bike vertical.
My first water cooled bike, what kind of coolant? A permanent type ethylene glycol designed for aluminum engines mixed 50/50 with soft/distilled water.
How about lowering it some, does anyone make a low seat?
Try the Kouba Link in #2 or #3 configuration.
Do most stay with stock sprocket size?
Ride the bike with the stock sprockets. By the time you wear them out, you'll know if you need to change your gearing and by how much. Yes, going smaller on the front will rapidly wear the sprocket, the chain, and the chain slider on the swingarm. Go larger on the rear instead.
Any service manuals and owners manuals I can download.Have your friendly local Kawasaki dealer order the factory service manual. It will be money well spent.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm..... I have to strongly disagreemudpack said:Fuel contributes very little to engine cooling; not enough of it goes through the engine to carry away significant heat and what little does go through an engine does not have enough heat-carrying capacity to be significant. Ultimately, air is what carries 99% of produced heat away from an engine.
So, blipping the throttle on a long downhill accomplishes very little. At closed throttle, the engine is losing heat far more quickly than it is producing it and that tiny droplet of fuel that the blipping will put through an engine is insignificant. That "blip-on-long-downhills" theory has just enough truth to it to make it sound plausible, but in reality, after looking at the details of how it all works, it loses credibility.
