random maintenance

Postby robert mack » Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:55 am

hi all
just a couple of questions. how much oil does the engine take and, is the drain plug the larger or smaller one?.
i need to set the correct idle speed, is it 1800rpm?. and do you use the large brass screw on the left hand side of the carb.

sorry about this but i only got the bike on friday and havent sourced a workshop manual yet.

mucho grande

Oil, 1.4 litres including filter, and according to handbook 1.4 without filter?

Idle screw is the big brass one wrapped in a spring on the left of the carb looking from the rear. The book says 1800 rpm, but i did mine by ear and what the engine was sounding like.

Rob,

If you go back to the main board index and go to the 125 section and click on camshaft setting, scroll down a bit it is in that file.
