I just took delivery of a brand new 2018 KTM 85sx for my son on Saturday. After making the deal, we pushed the bike to the truck and fire it up and let it warm up for a few minutes and then shut it off and took it home. When we got home we fired it up again for a few minutes and then shut it back off. We never rode it or rev'd it hard. So when I start race prepping the bike, I poured the fuel out of the tank into fuel jug that had old premix (I burn the old premix in the generator and lawn equipment). As I was pouring the fuel out I noticed how clear the fuel looked. Now to my knowledge, I have never found a two stroke premix oil that mixes clear, maybe I'm wrong but I can only assume that the bike was delivered from the dealer without premix oil added.
My question is what might be the damage? Brand new engine that has been started only twice for a total run time of less than 5 minutes without high revs. I'm hoping KTM coats the bearings in the engine with some kind of assembly lube but I don't know that for sure.
Does anyone know of a clear mixing two stroke premix oil? The factory recommended ration is 40:1 so any dye/color of the oil should be clearly visible.
And in addition to the bike possibly not having premix, the front wheel axle pinch bolts were also loose. Not just loose but the 4 bolts were only threaded in a couple of thread and would have surely falling out after a quick ride.
Thanks,
Greg
