Does anyone know what the oil to fuel mixture is supposed to be on this bike? I am currently refurbishing this sweet little bike and also need a few parts. Rear fender, handle bars, tail light.....maybe some other stuff if you know of any. Thanks Winddrifter Since it's an older bike I would try it out at 30:1, take it out for a 15 - 20 minute ride and pull the plug. If it looks a black and sooty, go up to 35:1, same thing, until you hit it right. I'm betting it's probably somewhere around 35:1, but it's not really as critical as you would think. Some of the newer machines are running at 50:1, but that's due to pollution control, so I would say you're safe at 30:1 to start. Make sure you have a couple of extra plugs on hand as you may foul a couple. Afterwards, you can clean the fouled plugs with starting fluid spray (ether) and a bronze brush. Have fun! Joe Source(s): Been riding over 35 years. most of the older bikes were 24 to 1 or 16 to 1. better to start a little rich than too lean. you can always change a plug if it i fouled. much cheaper than to rebuild an engine. They were originally fitted with the Posi-force lube system.The oil tank appears to be fitted on the right-hand side of the frame.and the pump on the primary drive side of the engine. Race tuners who discard the system, always modify the crankcases, so the main bearings get an adequate supply of oil. http://www.suzukicycles.org/k-series/k15... |
