How much oil should i put in the crankcase of my 2001 yamaha yz 80 and what is the best ratio of 2 stroke mix


in california, the only time u can lane split, is if u can do it safely, only in the middle of 2 lanes; not on the sides that has solid white or yellow lines, and u cannot be more than 10-15 mph over the speed of cars. so, if traffic is moving smoothly at 65, lane splitting isnt nessisary. and it would be illegal to try to blast thru a traffic bottleneck at 40 while the cars are barely crawling.

It depends on where you live. It is legal in some states.

What does the rake and stretch refer to on a chopper?

I think it's legal in some states. I don't understand why anyone would want to do it. It seems like you're trying to piss off the cagers around you and some will take it upon themselves to stop you. It looks like a reason for road rage and/or a collision waiting to happen.

When you are in a California traffic jam in Ca heat riding an air cooled big twin you either lane split safely and slowly or pull on over before you ruin the engine.
Ca is smart enough to know this, plus the fact that motorcycles take up as much space as a car when in traffic...let them go ahead and traffic goes down.
Plus, it encourages more riders to commute on efficient two wheelers. They even let us use the commuter lanes.
It is one thing Ca does right.

MX bike or Trail bike?

It ain't legal in any of the forty-odd states I've ridden in my near 55 years. In fact, the last ticket I got on my '63 Panhead, over 20 years ago was a chikenshit ticket from an @$$hole scooter cop with a bad attitude, right here in my own town.
Not only is it illegal, it's also dangerous as HELL, as cage drivers can't see past the noses on their face, and NEVER expect a bike to come down the line between them and the cage in the next lane.
Much as I love the show, I don't care WHAT Bronson did, it's STILL a bust.

Lane splitting is not dangerous in and of itself. It's a simple matter to navigate a 3' wide vehicle (considering wide handlebars) through a 4' wide or wider space. The problem is if you're doing 80 and the traffic is slugging along a 45 then you might be seen as suicidal.

Does anybody have any info on Honda XR100 dirt bikes in the Sacramento, California area?


The second problem is the ahole cagers that are all twisted up and angry. Sitting in traffic, wishing they had a motorcycle, and getting something better than 12 MPG in their air conditioned Suburbans and Expeditions. You're moving, they're not. Sooner or later one of them is going to jamb you up just to "get even".

The laws change from state to state on "if" it's illegal or not. But for me, I don't care cuz if the cop in traffic wants to get me he better be on a bike too. I get get down the line faster than they'll make it through traffic. And it's not dangerious if you know how to ride. It's illegal in South Carolina.

rashmaster has the wrong term.
Sharing lanes can be legal.
In NH, splitting lanes, as usually defined, is not legal.
The laws are written simply, and to the point.
You may ride side by side, two per lane.
You may not pass another vehicle in the same lane (unless you are a Police officer in the performance of your duties).
You may not cross the center dividing line except where marked (passing zone). Touching the line counts as crossing it.
