Shell out on a decent one, your engine will love you for it..
I use castrol TTS - 28bucks a litre - from super cheap auto or cycletreads..
as for spark plugs you want to use the right one, using different ones may make a difference to the performance, but for instance using an 8 may be good for around town (less likely to fowl) but use it on the open road and it may get so hot it melts your piston...
Your local suzuki dealer has a book saying what plug is right for your bike .

28 dollars a litre, your getting ripped off, this is what I used and it was (around about) $70-$75 for four litres so less than $20 a litre.

the most expensive oil i've seen is castrol 708 or 808 or somthing like that and it was nearly $50 a litre. must've had some gold added to it or something.

Hey, does anyone know anything about stroker kit for a rgv 250? to make it 300cc, im getting it rebuilt after locking it up and was told if replacing the barrel i should put a stroker kit in. Any help would be great.
Cheers

Hey Guys.

My RGV150 is just hitting 24,000k's. Should i be getting the piston and or rings done now to prevent something crapping out?

Im pretty sure it hasnt had a rebuild yet.

Also when i park it up after a long run she drips a bit of oil? Not too sure where its coming from as when i was following the tube it came off!

Is there anyone in Aucks with 2 stroke knowledge that can take a quick look at my bike (and a blatt of course!).

I live in east aucks but dont mind if your central or whatever.

If anyone can help out a newbie let me know!!

The answer to that is the engine causing any trouble?

Take the spark plug out and have a look at it, if it is really black then it is running rich, should be a light tan colour (at least that was the way i used to remeber it) you can always talk to someone at the bike shop, they should be able to advise you.

I had an GT250 X7 way back in the early 80s, gave it heaps and never had to do much on it, the occasional service, using a good quality 2 stroke oil was the key

The plug if just slightly black (not by much) and a very very slightly wet but not by much.
