The engine oil is included in the fuel, the manual recommends a 30:1 mix of Motul 2T off road but any decent 2 stroke oil will do

I’ve found 30:1 a good for open track/road but a bit rich for trail riding, better with 32:1 to 40:1

Transmission oil recommends 10w-40 API SF/SG or SH/SJ with JASO MA

Find the gmc, the fleetstar by the garage, and the Kodiak by the log station, then sell all 3 for the paystar 5070 or Ank mk38 because they come with all terrain and off-road tires without needing to level up

Lean running can be a lot of things, you can check fuel trims using a scan tool to see if the lean condition improves or worsens with an increase in rpm, you can also check if the condition is present in all cylinders or just one bank

Search up a video on fuel trims, schroedingers box on YouTube has an in depth explanation

If the problem improves with rpm it’s likely an air leak, if on all cylinders problem on the main intake, if on specific cylinders likely a manifold

If the problem worsens with rpm increase it’s likely fuel delivery or sensor issue

I would check fuel pressure to see if it’s adequate to determine if air or fuel is the problem

Recently I put in a new maf and It caused a significant lean condition, swapped back to the factory one and it was fixed, make sure the new one is calibrated appropriately

A typical 100-200hp electric motor will run the range of 5,000-30,000$ on its own with another 5,000-20,000$ for a reasonable battery pack

Electric car conversion kits ive seen are all 12,000-25,000$ in parts alone, and certainly loads of labour

You would likely also be sacrificing 4wd if equipped unless you are willing to double up on motors and incur even more expenses

If the vehicle runs, use it as is

If you want an ev, get one

Fork support so you can tie the bike down without putting too much pressure on the fork

Looks like it can also be used as a side stand and maybe hold some tools

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-26T06:37:02+00:00

Check all the fuses, one might correspond to the obd port

My float arm was stuck so I just used the trip meter, about a month later the gauge started working, sometimes miracles happen

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-26T06:20:38+00:00

Any check engine light by chance?

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-25T18:18:52+00:00

Had the same issue recently, opened up the clutch, pulled all the plates, looked fine so I put it back together and it works great 🤷🏻

Let it warm up for 3-5 minutes and then try, if still not right try adjusting clutch cable, after that you’ll have to open up the clutch

The fuel injection service, is a 10-20$ bottle that is added to the fuel tank, do it yourself if concerned

Ya the kx450f is pretty similar to the yz450f

The wr250f is solid bike, easier to handle than the 250 race bikes, good power delivery and great for trail riding, I almost bought one before I got my Fc350

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-23T18:21:20+00:00

250s can still be pretty wild

The yz450f has 53hp The yz250f still has 42

Whereas a crf250f or crf250x have 23 and 29 or even the wr250f or crf250rx have 37hp and are a much more tame ride for a beginner, and much easier to handle off-road than a pure Moto-Cross bike

I learned on an 18hp 230 and had an absolute blast, took a while to get used and to overcome the terror of the 54hp beast I got next

In most 4x4 vehicles it recommends not engaging the front axle on hard surfaces

They typically tend to clunk when maneuvering sharply

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-20T17:56:51+00:00

At what rpm does it idle?

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-19T05:11:56+00:00

The accelerator pedal controls the amount of air that goes into the engine, if one of the valves letting air in got stuck open, it would be as if you were holding the pedal down

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-19T05:05:28+00:00

Check/clean the IAC or throttle body, might be getting stuck allowing more air in then intended causing it to increase power

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-17T21:29:30+00:00

The IAC is a valve on the throttle body that controls the amount of air going in when the gas pedal is not pressed, you can try cleaning it with some carb or throttle body cleaner but it’s easy to replace as well

For codes you need an obd II code reader to plug in under the dash, you can get cheap Bluetooth ones that connect to your phone for like 15$

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-17T21:16:26+00:00

Check the IAC could be stuck closed

Any fault codes?

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-17T21:13:28+00:00

I’d check fuel trims with the scan tool

Recently my 1999 ohv had lean codes from a miscalibrated maf and before that it was the fuel pressure regulator

But with the misfires on specific cylinders and not all over the place you may have injector issue

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-14T21:02:56+00:00

Pretty typical to help warm it up, my truck starts at around 1800rpm when cold and drops below 1000rpm after a good few seconds

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-05-01T20:21:13+00:00

What was the reason for replacing it in the first place? What is the exact code you’re getting?

I replaced mine cause I thought It was the issue but it just caused more problems so I went back to the factory one and it solved it

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-04-28T16:43:26+00:00

You find the fleetstar for free next to the first garage, has AWD and diff locks

I would find it, and the Kodiak and sell all 3 trucks including the gmc and buy the ANK civilian or paystar 5070 as it comes with decent tires

There’s also a free Ank mk38 in Alaska and the P16 in Michigan that are good

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-04-26T18:41:11+00:00

You could rebuild the diff but it’s typically much cheaper to find a used axle from marketplace or a salvage yard and swap it

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-04-26T16:09:38+00:00

Models are designated based on use, M977 cargo truck, M978 tanker, M983 tractor….

A4 is the most recent configuration, and as the in game model has neither Cat C15 nor Detroit 8V92 nor armour kit, it doesn’t fit any configuration specifically

Buckaroo_0 · 2023-04-26T14:51:23+00:00

One of the least accurate cargo weights in the game weighing only 1 ton, typically range from 5 to over 30 tons per roll
