Hey I have an 85 tri-z and I have a few more problems I need to fix. First is that one of the bearings went on the bike today and when I went to change them the outside metal of the bearing is really wedged into the bearing carrier. I tried to get it out but it will not budge, is there anything I can do to get that darn thing out so I can put the new one in. Also I have been having a problem when I speed up, when I hit the power band I suppose the bike will sputter and slow down and it sometimes happens when I haven't changed the plug in a few days. That is another problem, I find that I have to change plugs very regularly, after a while of using the same plug, i'm talking a few days, Its brown on the tip and the bike rides pretty rough. The other day I was driving up the road and the bike just died when I was in 2nd gear and no way could I get it started again, but when i replaced the plug, boom, it started. I am mixing the oil 20-1 and I am using castrol 2 stroke oil from walmart. The bike is bored over and has performance pistons and a full dg exhaust, should I change my mix, my oil or is it something else? thanks, sorry its so long

So running 50 liters of gas to 1 liter of oil will help it out ? It will not cause any problems, and will not be bad for the bike? Also will this help out with my spark plug problem or just with the sputtering? thanks
