Do you know how to do that? Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting out on track, MotoGP2's boring! The only other thing I'm going to change is putting some low-rise MX bars from my old CR on it, then It'll look like an 80's superbike.

To remove the auto oiler not really.........But there will be a oil tank which will feed a pump (gear or vac) which will feed into the crankcase or carb all will need to be removed and blanked off. I dont know anything about small suzi two smokes but someone here will. Make sure you run a good quality 2 stroke oil suzuki never intended the GP to be a race bike and it will need all the help it can get. MX bars are a good idea more comfortable better leverage, tyres will be you best investment in handling. Photos please as developments continue. Ask questions and plenty of them someone will alway be there to help.

if it the same as the AX the Auto Lube is behind a cover right by the front sprocket, I havent actualy removed myne just disconnected it and blocked the lines off seems to be ok like so long as you remember that theauto lube spot into the inlet portwhen you remove thecablefrom there you will want to block that off as the hole will be allowing more air in leaning the engine out. andyou dont want your engine wayyyyyyy to lean or else pistons like meeting the bore which is not good.

RG100!! owns one of these but the GP100 I tihnk?
Should be a good bike but like SPud said run it on a good fully synthetic oil less chance of seizing with good quality stuff compared to the budget 5 dollars for 80 litres cheap shit

Yeah, i've decided not to fuck with it for now, just ride!! I'm going to invest in some race 2t oil for it, clean the oil tank, change the g/box oil, and get some good tyres.

Thanks for the help guys! I'll throw some pics on when i actually pick it up! april 3rd..

Wow Ivan, you got a comma AND a full stop in that post!!

**Ivan** · 18th March 2007, 20:29

Is this worth a green rep?

**Spyke** · 18th March 2007, 20:35

Good for you W B R, i think that the national regs state that size has to be 6 inch, have a look see on the mnz web site. rules... white on black for 125 -open.

But it is buckets so ask the orginiser or pm team_cudby (check name) or ivan, RG100!!! they should know.

stay upright and enjoy.

if you are going to keep it stock make sure you clean and set the oil feed correctly. they can be more problems than they are worth.
Personally I'd dissconnect or remove it and mix my own fuel, at lease you know that the engine will receive that correct amount of premix.

but that my two cents.

Good luck with the racing. you will have a ball.

can't wait to see the finished product. I think he has picked the brains of every bucketer in the country, so it should be a fast bike. . .

but he hasn’t LISTENED to any of them!

Yeah,

My bucket started up today,

And it is running in a Aprillia RS50 Chassis and rideable,
we got a few rides in today,
I got a couple and it feels quite good alot better than being in a dirty old ZZR250
I think the porting is not sufficent enough yet, but still goes,
