250 2 smokes premix question

[Phathry25]

Ladies, ladies, ladies, please.



Really though, run it at 100:1, if your bike blows up they pay for the rebuild. What better guarantee can you ask for. I've run Amsoil 0W40 in my bikes since 2002. I ran two quarts of Spectro through my 2007 450, and the crank stopped spinning on my 5th ride. (changed every 3 riders from 2007-2011) That's 0W oil in both sides of my 70+ HP motor. My friend went through clutches like crazy in his new Honda's, heavier springs and all, he tried all kinds of oil until I was finally able to talk him into trying some Amsoil. No clutch problems since.

Coming from 16 year olds....lol.

If it weren't for financing, there wouldn't be many people with a bike nowadays. Plus it helps your credit, which helps you get other things..like a car and house. Financing is not bad unless you don't make your payments.

May I ask how this Financing business works over in the states.

Well you have a couple options. One you can go to a bank and borrow money under a personal loan based on credit worthiness, Typically a fixed interest rate. Two you can go straight to a dealer who may either obtain your loan through dealer financing or straight from kawi, Suzuki ect.. those have very low finance rates (i think Suzuki was doing 1.99%) but its basically a credit card with usually 3-5 year minimum payments of like 60 bucks or something crazy like that. So if you don't pay off the loan in that period of time, You get charged usually like 20%. That's where irresponsible people get screwed when they don't get pay off the loan in that period of time.

Personally I put half down and finance the rest. Its good to have a reasonable amount of revolving debt based on income because it gets you better interest rates when buying big items like a house or car.

See in NZL its similar except when you put a bike on Finance you end up paying at least an extra 3-5k in interest.
Really don't see the point. I pay an extra $100 in interest on my 10k loan from the government.

Same over here, that's how financing normally works though.

You can tell companies are starting to feel the squeeze when they start to slash their interest rates on financing.

It's amazing how the whole world is basically run using financing, everyone oweing everyone else money. It's a great system until someone fucks it up *cough American Banks *cough

Please, tell me how "american banks" ruined the world...

I am excited to know we have an expert in economics here in the MXS community.

It wasn't all the banks' faults. People were stupid and bought things they knew they couldn't afford and it came back to bite the entire world in the ass.

But Osama is dead and GM is alive.

It doesn't matter that of the big three American auto mfg's that GM is by far doing the worst. That's right, the auto maker that is still latched to mommies tit isn't doing well. Chrysler, which didn't take the money is doing the best, and Ford who paid the money back as quickly as possible is in second.

But yet Obama leads in the polls. Thanks to smart phones and social networking people no longer have the capacity to think for themselves. "Oh, Jay Z supports Obama, so do I." Brilliant.

Then again, I could live in Europe and have everyone be happy to be under socialist rule.

And JLV, I would venture to guess that most of my seizures were do to running the bike too lean, but I wasn't about to add that caveat when telling you how much less often my four strokes had break downs.

[Phathry25]

Shoot, I have Chrysler and Ford backwards in rankings and who took the money... Should have proof read before posting, lol....

I was just about to call you out on that. Good thing I read the quoted post.

The wonderful government put regulations into effect, requiring banks to lend to minorities and those were high risk of not paying a loan back. During the economic boom in the 2000's people also decided to buy $4-500k homes while making 50k a year....not a good combo. That's why you see so few of loans now and so many vacant houses that are huge.

Exactly that. I was approved for something way out of my budget back in 07 under a ARM loan. Definitely would have foreclosed if I had pulled the trigger at that time. My approval would have made my mortgage 75% of my monthy income. When the economy crashed in 08 I would have had a mortgage 110% of my monthly income because of the adjustable rate.
Fortunately my father was in finance for over 30 years and advised me against it.

You cant blame what happened on the Government. The banks actually persuaded the government to relax the rules in the first place so that they could lend to people they knew werent going to be able to pay it back so that they could sell the mortgage on. The more mortgages they could sell, the more money they made in a short period of time so they purposely lent to people that couldnt pay it back. This video explains it amazingly well, watch all of it.
