Thanx Larry, are you sure that's not a typo Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Shocked


No they make stroker cranks for the 125-150 GY6 engine and I've seen or read of one for the 50cc too somewhere. On the 125 it adds 2mm to the stroke.

4 pages and 47 replies on oil changing borders on obsession! Laughing

A lot of people suffer from OOD. obsesive oil disorder, so much so there is a dedicated forum the the problem, www.OODIMF.com
I put this up because it might help a few.

You keep asking questions like that I'll shove the plug somewhere you won't find in a hurry!

PostPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:58 am    Post subject: Two silly questions Reply with quote
I'm sure these questions are really silly and the obvious answers are the right ones but I just want to check. Embarassed

1. Is the same oil suitable for a 125cc as mentioned here for 50ccs? IE. 10W/40? Obvious answer - YES!

2. What do you do with the old oil? "Are you allowed to"/"Is it environmentally OK to" just pour it down a drain?

Thanks!

Edit: I'm a mug and hae just realised I should not put questions here.
Sorry, please ignore!

Yes

NO, put it into an empty can and take it to an oil bank, or garage, they will dispose of it for you. DO NOT PUT IT DOWN ANY DRAIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it were me will, I'd get an extra quart or 2 and flush the hell outta that engine... god knows whats caked up in there and you'd wanna flush all that out or it'll look like you hadn't changed a damn thing after say the 1st ride...Razz
