whoa up !!,...you dont put 2 stroke oil in the tranny or
gearbox oil in the 2T injection system,...
thinks thats how i read your last ?,. :?

then re-read it and you mean specific clutch oil /gearbox oil for 2 strokes,..semi sythetic if using basic gearbox oil, or auto transmission fluid, or yes correct wet clutch oils, for 2 stokes,...phew, :lol:

Hello,

Still working on the 74 s1. I need to get a new battery for it. Does anyone know the part number for that. Is it 6v or 12v and how big?

A part number would be great if anyone has it.

Thanks..

I ordered one and when it comes in i will check for spark. I am pretty sure that there is a short in the ignition wire running from the battery to the key switch but that is easy to check for.

All this will just make me enjoy riding it more. Nothing like hearing it run for the first time.

So Now I am ready to replace the fork seals. Is this a difficult process? i found a few sites with instructions but I am wondering if these s1's are particularly easy or hard to change the seals on.

Would it help to get a repair manual?

Is there any oil that is best?

Thanks,
Marc

Hello Everyone,

Today I finally got the bike back together and got it to run. It sounds SWEEEET. a little too loud because i still have to install one exhaust baffle. The only thing I am having trouble with is affectively adjusting the idle speed. it seems that when i get it where i want it, the throttle response is terrible until it passes 3000-3500rpm. I think with a bit more tinkering I can get it going nicely.

Just ordered the tires and battery so i dont have to jump it to my truck. I cant wait to take it for my first rip.
