[QUOTE="yzgirl9, post: 1347052, member: 106008"] Thanks guys, the manual definitely helps for all the know-how, however I understand that the manual mainly refers to a machine that is being raced on a regular basis, since that's what is was built to do...so I doubt following the manual is necessary especially in my case, I do ride often but not very hard..yet. I want to be sure I am doing the necessary maintenance for my style of riding without "overdoing" it. Also, I want to make sure I am mixing my oil/gas at a good ratio..currenty I am running 50:1, I know the manual calls for 30:1 but again that is for a machine that is being raced, and I've heard if your not riding the bike at full throttle on 30:1 theres possibility of fouling a plug, so go leaner. My other concern is that I do not know the history of this bike, it was shipped from the states and I picked it up from an RV dealership and looked absolutley mint, a few minor scratches that's it..but it started first kick and ran amazing and for a measly $2800 I couldn't go wrong for an 07, but I am not even sure if this bike is broken in yet or not, but when I changed the oil after my first couple rides it was very metallicy and brown so i'm not sure...
