Just got my sons ATV thanks to Gary.. My son isn't getting it until Christmas but I want to get it assembled and some powdercaoting done to it.

I just wanted to know what fluids I should use in the bike.
I am new to DRR and want to get extra fluids for my shelf.

*Engine OIl- type and how much it holds

*trans oil- type and how much it holds

*Premix oil - plan on running CAstor 927 oil.. going to mix my own fuel instead of the oil pump. 32:1

There is no "engine oil" for a two stroke other than the oil you put in the gas if you plan on pre-mixing. I use Bel-Ray Gear saver 80w in the tranny. I also fill it up to the top. I also attach a longer overflow hose and run it up high so when you are running it hard the oil will travel up the hose instead of running out on the ground. Then after the bike cools the fluid will drain right back into the tranny. Good luck with your new DRR. I'm sure this will be a Christmas your little man won't soon forget.

I run engine ice with redline water wetter in all of my quads, the water wetter helps heat transfer and they will run 20-30 degrees cooler. Also I would recommend you switch to a synthetic 2 stroke oil after break-in. Today's modern synthetics are light years ahead of castor and won't separate causing engine failure. I use redline 2 stroke, but any will be better than 927, Klotz, Amsoil, etc. Good luck your boys a lucky kid and there's lots of good people here. By the way, your'e right to premix, the injection is the first thing to change. :D
