il cacciatore Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I must be living the dream then lads. I am a 2 stroker and proud! Look at the smoke! My bike on Youtube! I run a Yamaha YPVS TDR250 the original twin! edit - That video was made by myself to show the owners club that the abnormal amount of smoke it was making due to Shell mineral oil that I was so foolish to use. Problem has been resolved as well as the leaky end can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cacciatore Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 What you fail to remmember about two stokes after thinking of the great smell and phenominal performance is the poor reliability.

lurcherboy Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 You forget about 40 or so holed pistons (thanks to Stan Stephens is he still alive) and being chased over Streatham Common in the wet and making the inside pages of the South London Press I was that soldier. LB PS and the phospher bronze swing arm bushes, much better than the nylon ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
