Yes, only if you run a bore kit, just safety wire it full open this way at idle the engine gets a richer mix, i did mine 10yrs ago and it still works great.

I ran mine with 9 to 1 gears stock but you have 12 to 1, the engine may smoke when you start it but it will clear up as the revs kick in, remember better rich than lean, check plug color.

if you tie the pump open be shure to line up the arrows cause if you go too much you may be getting less oil and starving your bike....

yup. premix is the way to go.

if your bike isn't fully modified their is no real reason to go full pre mix unless your going for an acurate oil mix ratio....

i am sorry but i really dont like to pre mix. i had to do it when the oil pump was not working really good. you have to keep a thing of oil on you at all times in case u need to stop for gas it is a pain in the *

I think he has the stock elite 87 motor. If it is i believe malossi is the only company that came out with a gear set for the 87 which was 7 to 1. They are very rare if you would ever be able to find one.

aint all that bad,me use those fuel stabilzer bottles for oil,plus it gives you the little measuring side,all you need to figure out is you ratio,such as 4 oz oil to 1 gal gas 32 to 1,and so on.
you figure people like bitter ride everyday,how often do you ride?
