96 JTR270 advise
 

Just picked up a good condition for its age 96 jtr270.


I have no manual for this bike and the first thing I want to do is service it, so I have a couple of questions.


What is the fuel oil mix best to use?

How much trans oil, and how often to change?

best tire pressure?

What spark plug should I run/carry?


Any other tips?

This should answer most questions you have.
Anything not covered in the link just send Jim Snell a email.

I've got one of those in my basement that I need to restore. If you find any plastics for this model please let me know.

awesome thanks.

80:1 fuel mix is different to what I'm used to. Better drop out the 40:1 that's in there at the moment.

80:1 is fine (most trials riders like 100:1) I run Amoil Saber (formulated for 100:1) in my ec250woods bike at 75:1. That motor has almost 200 hours on it now and it still starts first kick and runs strong. Honda also sells a very good 100:1 oil.
