check the dip stick at regular intervals as u pour in the engine oil lor

there should be a marking on the dipstick which indicates the maximum level for the engine oil

usually 2 stroker doesn't come with a dipstick..

don't woory too much about 4t level in a 2 stroker..

if too much or too little will not cause much damage to bike.

if based on those flowery language used to describe each of the oil....also seriously not dependable......

so...........

fuel comsumtion for 2 stroker is for sure..

u mean ur carb been enlarge..sure the block been port too.

mine can go for about 100km if i ride normally..

if i ride faster sometime it will not hit 100km ..jia lat manz every time must go petrol kiosk.

hrmz

so much is the consumption per litre for yr bike huh?

last time when i was still considering betweenbuying 125z and wave

i had this impression that fuel consumption of 125z is somewhat like my ex-NSR and with higher 2t consumption rate somemore

so ended up buying wave instead

at that point of time....pple were like telling me how petrol saving 125z is etc...but my own calculations didnt reflect so....

juz wanna find out the actual situation now

I guess yours has been modified b4. If standard Y125Z it's like 120-140km then empty liao. If yours 100km finish confirm modified. If not modified then i guess it's time to service the bike!

for 2 stroker not much to service..

change spark plug.(b8es)

change 4t..

and can wash carb if u want to..(but not much of a different.)and troublesome too.timing will run.

if really got lot of time can clear carbon at piston head also.

and clean reed valve.

for servicing i always do myself.i hate to go shop and wait for them to service my bike..(got to wait 2-3 hrs,for all this simple task.

coz my bike got lot of secret in them.(hehehe)

wave is better for tranport..use less fuel..

125z drinks petrol like normal sport bike...( like ur ex Sp)

but 125z works better then a wave for sure. (that's why it fuel comsumption so high)

Dat's very correct!

 

2 stroke Y125Z - Sporty,Got style, Got power but drink Petrol,Petrol drinker.

 

4 stroke Wave - Normal outlooks, more to the daily transport type, Less Pickup and less power but Economical petrol consumption, Sip petrol.

 

 

So in the end it's individual Preference.

 

Pick and choose WISELY.
