Tis The Season... For Bikes.

In my lifetime I have had a few non road legal Yamaha's and my favorite out of them was the DT360.
It was a single cyl two stroke.
My friends and I always ditched those damn oil mixing system and just mixed the fuel because if you ran out of oil in the injection system the bike would still run and burn itself up (Usually seizing the piston to the cylinder, but if you mixed it yourself and ran out of oil you were also out of gas. :D
This stopped the possibility of running out of oil and seizing the engine.

DT360, I bet that thing was an absolute beast. :burnout:

Good point on the mixing system. Thanks for reminding me, I've gotta plug the Oil Level Sensor back in... Right now she has a full tank of oil, but the sensor isn't plugged in, so the Oil light on the Tach constantly flashes to tell me "it's low on oil" :D


On an off-road bike, mixing the gas/oil would be fine (and I even considered it for driving on the street). I'm gonna use her to commute to work on nice days, it would be a pain having to haul quarts of Mix on the bike with me, and mix it on the spot at the gas pumps.
