C90's are a better for reliability! Horses for courses!

Yeah... Look on the bright side. You should get plenty of practice with spanners! ....But as long as you can get a tow/lift if you need it and as long as you don't rely on it for work, who cares?
I presume you are gonna use some nice, fancy fully synthetic oil in her? Take care with the oil pump, cable, oil lines, etc and I bet you will have very little trouble.
I reckon most of the unreliability with two strokes is due to the lack of preventative maintenance carried out by the owner....

I so nearly bought one in 1992...head got the better of heart and I bought an FZR600, which promptly got nicked!
Replaced that with a ZXR400 and was wearing green for the next 15 years...back with the speedblocks now though.
Hope it goes well.

| Wow! Nice work! It's really lovely when you can assemble a bike in such clean condition and watch it take shape.....

More fuel going through her doesn't increase the amount of oil going through, if anything you're leaning out the oil supply by diluting it with more fuel. Wouldn't adjusting the oil-injection pump be a better bet in the chase for reliability? Either that or run pre-mix.

I would rather suggest sticking to Yamaha's recommendations and using the best oil I can find, keeping an eye on the motor and stripping at regular intervals to check clearances. .....But people have their own ideas...

| It's nice to have a fresh engine on the shelf and swap 'em at regular intervals for a check over and get ready to go again....
