Advice needed for trip.

Cool as, i'll take two one litre bottles, plus a tool kit and some extra spark plugs plus the ratchet with extension and 12, 14 and 10 mm sockets and the spark plug socket. Yeah bout the vibrating, um one of my subframe bolts vibrated loose and fell out, I was wondering why she was rattling so much! I'll find a nut for it and put it back in. I'm also ordering in new sprockets and a new o/x ring chain. which is better for the rg, i'll be replacing them after the ride back. Just getting the new continental tires put on at the mo and scrubbed in for friday. Just got to remember to ride my own pace. Ya my rg is a watercooled beast.

You're starting to get the idea what MOTORCYCLING is all about. ENJOY YOUR TRIP. Keep a record how much fuel / oil you use for future reference on future trips.

Don't think you'll need the oil & filter change not for the engine anyway.

Have a good ride.

haha good point

I'm guessing you are off up north. Remember as an alternative there are also Repcos in Whangarei, Kaitaia & Kerikeri and they stock bike 2-stroke oil. Also Super Chimp have a store in Whangarei and they do the Silkolene range. There are 3 to choose from. So you are never really that far away from oil if you need it.

Just take a couple of litres of your oil in the 1L containers you buy it in, take a 10&12mm and a nutfucker just incase. If your chain is as toasted as you led me to believe you should be doing it before, not after, the ride.

You Should be fine going slower, GNs will keep you company.

Chain isn't too bad, just got overtightened so when weight was put on the suspension the chain tightened even more kinking it. Should be right. , haha the gn's will be smoking me

don't stress out too much about the oil thing, take a one litre with you, if ya get stuck any oil is better than no oil!. but have a bloody good adventure, look forward to your report , keep it safe.

RG's are watercooled.

RGV's are oil cooled.

Get ya facts right.

Yeah I've owned RGs. I thought they were water-cooled, but having a bad morning thought I would check:
http://www.suzukicycles.org/RG-series/RG150.shtml
which says "Engine type: Oil-cooled 147 cc single"

This is incorrect though, and they are of course water cooled, with an oversized rad for Malaysian conditions that means they run very cold (leading to many people covering 1/2 the rad to get the operating temp up). Sorry, bad morning yesterday and became confused. Thought I would get my facts straight, but then found an error on the internet. I'll inform the internet authorities and imagine it will make the news tonight.

Most garages sell outboard oil, even inland ones, most outboards are water cooled blah blah so take no notice of "its not good enuf fer yr bike" nonsense.

Don't believe this...outboards run at a different temperature thats why they make different types of oil for different engines applications. But hey your pistons not mine....

Also, modern outboards run 100:1 - so marine 2 stroke will be formulated to suit.
