Will she fire up?


After two long back-to-back days on installing the floor rails, we wanted to see if the bike would fire it. We removed the spark plug and kicked the kick stark and we had spark.



We were a bit eager just to hear her fire up, which she did right away.




The camera I had with me only takes :30 second videos; hence the multiple videos here.

Spark plug & oil choice

I asked Tom G. what brand spark plug and oil he recommends for the SS180 and here's his response:

Plug: NGK

Use the cheapest dino-based 2stroke oil you can find
for your break-in (synthetic is too slippery and will
prevent ring bed-in).

After breakin, use any good synth or semi-synth oil.
I use Yamalube semi-synth, for no particular reason.

Belray is also supposed to be good, and I use to use
that a lot. Also Motul.
