Filling up with 2 stroke oil

[gixxerlover1]

So what if it doesnt come on. How often should you fill it. How many miles?

Nothing ever happens when you want it to only when you least want it to!

Dunno. I just open the tank, and look into it. If it looks like it's running low, fill it up.

Fair enough, something to check once a week maybe?

I had one that ran out. Just died on the road. Wouldn't start immedaitely, and barely ran after a while, sounded like sh1t! and finally managed to drive a mile through the town home having been pushed for 3 miles.

I was lucky!

I do it as a part of my daily checks, quick glance at the little window on oil tank, brake fluid etc.

I don't tend to wait for the oil light to come on, as soon as it gets close to its minimum mark on the window, I top it up keeps the engine ticking nicely.
