So I haven't been on for a while due to the crappy weather here in Ontario. But I rode the bike yesterday(x18) and I couldnt stop thinking about putting a Vapor on this baby. So I just wanted to know which one I was supposed to buy because on their site, there are like 832084098234 different ones. Is it the MX Vapor or the Adventure. A direct link to the product would be greatly appreciated. Also, is it that hard to install everything? Are the instructions that come with it straight forward? That's all. Oh and BTW I had gas in my tank for the winter is that bad? I also drained the oil and left the bike without oil for the whole winter. Is that bad? Thanks in advance. BYEEEEEE!

uhhh, i wouldnt be surprised if your motor seizes after you run it....if it starts.

never drain oil out of a motor, the internals need lubricants to keep from siezing.....

ive used that valvoline 4 stroke, but the 20w-50 since i run my bike for long periods and i live in sunny south florida... was this a wise choice or not.

I used this one on my ysr.

It works nicely and was fairly simple to install, Instead of mounting the magnet on the break rotor like the directions said (directions were ez to follow) I mounted it into my sprocket and put the pickup on the swing arm.
