Oil comsuption
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2018 12:01 am
Hi gents,
I just finish the restoration of my 1972 750 J bike and I' m wondering over the oil comsuption. I refurbished the oil pump with new seals and check it following the abundant info existing in the foro. Everithing was ok, but... I'm so concerned since the oil comsuption (castrol red)seems to me so low.
I' ve also owns several classic spanish 2 strokes bikes (Ossa and Bultaco) with manual oil mix. At the 2% of oil mix I never have had any problem but it looks that my Suzi consums around 1% of oil or even less at moderate speed. This is why and in order to prevent any big dissaster I' m mixing 1% of oil in the fuel tank to run the bike. Even in these conditions it is not smoking so much.
Could any one of you confirm me what is the roughly (in %) oil comsuption at middle-moderate speeds (urban use and non more than 60milles/h).
Cheers, Juan
