As you see everybody has a preferance. What you will notice is that all the oil's mentioned are for motorcycles.

I would not use oil that is designed for boats or small yard equipment in your 84. The gallon jugs at Wallmart that are inexpensive are not designed to lube an aircooled 3-wheeler. Prolly be fine for a watercooled bike/boat though.

I would run my mix at 42-1 for trail riding and 32-1 for hill climbs and duning.

Cut some holes in the front fender to get more air to the cooling fins too.

Damn! i just went riding today and my 3-wheeler took a crap on me i hit some water got some in air cleaner. got that fixed though and now i find of that my petcock leaks mass air so i get no power and i can't get the powerband to kick in. so guys can someone get a pic of a 81-82 air box inside and out? i have a motorcycle filter on there right now i know that isn't stock but that's what was on it when i bought it. anymore info would be great.
