Jose - the world of small engines and 2 strokes is actually a good example of this. In little yard engines - weed wackers, blowers, etc. - almost...
The higher octane will burn cleaner. Cleaner also means hotter. If you're not using a stabilizer, and it takes you longer than say, 2 weeks to...
Good point on the valves, Durk. Not bad for a FNG. :)
Thanks. I feel like I've seen that bike a dozen times based on your pic.
To our US Folks: Someone once proved me wrong, although I can't find it, showing that yellow bikes were indeed offered in Canada in 1999....
CJ - Welcome aboard. You need to get yourself a manual. If the not full blown repair manual, then at least the owners manual. Try searching on...
Welcome aboard from another Jersey guy here. Tell us a little more about the bike. We enjoy a good story. And make sure your document your...

First off, no doubt I'd want to restore that beauty. Its always great seeing an older bike brought back. Secondly, I'd do a little more research...
If there was a meet-up in Yellowstone, I might be inclined to make the cross country trip. But I'm packing my fly rod and waders.

If you meet him and he waves "hi" with both hands, then you'll know.
