Seeing as I just got my 50, Im not even sure on the gas stuff.
I put regular gas in the tank, but it's not a mix, correct?
Is the little circular thing on the bottom near the foot pegs the oil?
How often do you change it and what kind do you put in?

 

obviously not a mix since it's a four stroke. and does any more put better then regular gas in it? i figure its only like 20 cents more and if it really does help keep the engine in good shape why not.

 

Its not a mix. Normal unleaded is fine unless you want to use the high-octane stuff.

Yeah I use the high-octane fuel. Its supposed to help clean the engine or whatever. Not too sure how true it is but for the price increase I'd say it does something worth it.

 

Regular 87 octane works just as good as anything on a fiddy. Its a fiddy come on. The drain plug is on the bottom of the case on the right side. Dont unscrew the left side because thats the tensioner and a spring will shoot out. If its a used bike change the oil now so you know its been changed and just check it every now and then and change it when it looks old. If its a new bike change it about a month or so after you started riding it. I use hondas Gn4 and im pretty sure thats what most people run. I use about 3/4 quart and it works for me.

 

Ok looks like I'll give that oil a try. I understand how to get the oil in, but I am not seeing where the drain plug is still. Is it a bolt?

 

the oil comes out of the big a$$ed bolt on the bottom of the engine

and it holds 1/2 a quart....

 

Is this a joke? you're riding wheelies on the bike and you dont know what kind of gas goes in it!

 

 

joking half way

 

I call

 

DUDE!!! I think you should FOR SURE use better gas than what you put in your 20K - 30K vehicle! You know, because fiddy's are special and all ...
oh, and i need to warn you, if you dont know how to change your break light fluid, your fucked and should sell your fiddy anyway ...

do you need a manual with that?!?!

hahahaha

 

Break light fluid? hmmmm

 

yah, just testing the intellect here

 

sick burn

you wanna watch what you say here, cause at any given time there is a **** load of people ready to hand you your ***

you are making it way to easy

 

if you are a tender little lad you may just wanna forget about this place and go sign up on fiddlylife.com, their mommies taught them to play nice

 

As far as archives upon archives of fiddy advice, check out fiddylife.com. they have some FAQ stickied threads that pretty much tell you everything you would wanna know about a fiddy.

 

depending on how much you ride your fiddy, i ride mine almost every day and i change the oil once a month i run the belray 10w40 and i ride ******* on it so i put bout 3/4 of a quart in it since day one and its all good! and oh yeah i changed my blinker fluid to a dot5 and they blink much smother

 

LOL... cute

 

honda recommends 89 or better. says it will detonate with lower octane. I run sunoco 94 in every bike ive ever owned. Never had a problem or a bad batch from them.

 

i use whatever gas is laying around. uhh i don't think i've ever changed my oil...i just add whatever is laying around the garage if its low...sometimes i even put in used oil from my truck, there is about 4 diff. viscosity oils in my truck & about 6 diff viscosity oils in my fiddy...i havn't had a problem...yet. i wouldn't suggest doing this at all but i'm poor as hell so i do work with what i got.
