    Be careful taking screwdrivers out riding with you.
    I can image how nasty it would be to come off and get a flat blade in the back

    Thanks lads , most of what you guys have said makes sense.

    Now another question....

    What petrol mix you guys running? just looking at the manual and its recomends 32:1 but i know Ryan said he was running different mix depending on what type of ride he was on, so just drop me ya mixes and maybe a reason why with pros and cons...

    32:1 is a bit wet. 40:1 minimum. I use Amsoil synthetic and they recommend 100:1 - use it if you dare - I have never had any problem with it over 15 years. The only thing is the raucous laughter and abuse you get if you tell anyone about it. I like the product - one or two kicks every time and it starts. Whatever you use, it should at least be a modern synthetic. Don't FFS buy some cheapo 2T oil from the servo, and if you have some in your shed, chuck it out right now before you are tempted to use it.
