>the clutch is not relasing the whole way, and when i go to drive off, i cant do it gradually, i have to like, "pop the clutch"
>I also dont know what kind of oil is in/goes in the crank case....the oil that is in there now is a white-ish color
>And also im not sure what goes in the radiator? water -or- anti-freeze?? (sry, its my first big bike)
>it is also smoking a lot (blue-ish, white)
>It also will not idol, it has a after market (keihin Carb.) on it and there doesnt seem to be an adjustment screw

It also has hinson clutches in it too, (if that is important at all)
and i run 40:1 mixed gas with BLUE MARBLE high performance 2-cycle oil (which the guyi bought it from gave me)

**and all the stuff was done BEFORE i bought it

thanx

i have a 98 RM125 just to let

i have a 98 RM125 just to let u kno, the clutch is alot more jumpy on a bigger bike like this (or it depends on what u used to ride) u might need to set it,
-the oil shouldnt be white, that means water is getting in, well not water, but coolant, thats how it is in a boat but its not good for a bike.
buy 10W 40 our bikes share the same manual and thats wat it says, but i usually use bel-ray sae90 or some shit.
-50 50 anti freeze and water (PLEASE BUY A MANUAL U WONT REGRET IT)
ur bike might be a bit rich, go get it jetted or buy a manual and try urself,
-i dont think the carb is aftermarket, 96-2000 i think they used keihin instead of mikuni or watevv, mine doesnt idol either and ive been told it shouldnt, but who want a bike that doesnt idol?!? ur choke knob doubles for an idol screw if u turn it it only makes it revv higher or lower it wont make it actually idol, all that is jetting but dont touch that shit unless u kno wat ur doing, unless u like a bike that runs like crap?
40-1 is wat i mix at to and it works well, ive never heard of blue marbel... i use motul 600 2T, but thats just me

05 RM 125

Just bought a oversized Clarke gas tank. The bike is now leaking bad from the excess fuel line, I lost about 3/4 tank in an hour and a half. Don't know if something is wrong with the tank, or if I need to make some adjustments to the carb? Help? Thanks
