2 stroke oil question

I thought all you modsters would know the answer to my question. Is it OK to mix diffrent brands of 2 stroke oil. Currently I am using Motul scooter 2 stroke oil, but I was given a litre of Castrol oil. Can I top up with that? Or should I always use the same brand? On another note....I see that Motu...

KISS is back! So.....the problem was the electric start and clutch. Tony at Top Gear had to completely pull my scoot apart and found that the electric start was not passing power correctly AND he was able to repair it (rather than replace it) saving me over $400 in parts. I also needed a new clutch ...

No, I decided against the 70cc kit. My bike goes 78 to 85km depending on how it feels that day, so I did'nt think the added cost and shorter life that comes with the kit would be worth going 90kmph.

Boy I hope they can get it going, as I have been really satisified with its performance to date.

The olny modding that was done was the muffler, rollers, upjetting and variator. I will find out tomorrow (thursday) what chris at top gear thinks is wrong.

Yamaha

Ya, I looked at Yamaha's before, but they are really to small for me. I am a tall guy, and I look like a giant on those....too bad because they look sharp.

Carb Jets

The carb jet, rollers, springs, variator, and exhaust was all done at the same time. It worked perfect for about 1 month (800km or so.) I did the Calgary rally with it as well.

(EDIT) REPAIRED...My scooter is down...the kiss of death

It appears that the 'KISS' bike might be dead. I started it up on monday at lunch to ride home, and it stalled after about a block at the first set of lights. This is somewhat normal as my idle is set a little low when warming up. When I tried the electric start all it does is 1 small click noise, t...

Gas Type

I have a tuned 50cc, and I find a HUGE diffrence between low 89 and permium. Try to get the Husky/Mohawk ethanol type as it is 95 octane (vs the typical 91 premium.) As mentioned above when gas stations use a shared hose you are not getting very much premium. BUT try to find some old neighbourhood H...
