plug looks good ,at what throttle setting did ya chop , an auto-lube tanks last ages ,200 miles = 2-3 tanks ,prob get another 2 tanks worth out the lube before topping up again , every 5 litres fuel(gallon)=100ml oil , 1 litre oil=50 litres juice ,10 gallons ,bored now but ya can see where maths is goin eh , H

Plug looks a nice colour Did you stop the scooter as normal and then took the plug out or? I only ask as it looks a little wet.

Thanks for feedback guys Came back from a hours ride was on tick over for few mins then revved and turned off ignition before pulling plug was that right? H bored never when talking scooter geek tbf if I'd thought about it 2-2.5% mix is gonna last a while I could have worked that out ( I'm only a dumb engineer)

I do around 30 miles per day (work n back) and top the 2T oil up each night on my PX , it's about 3/4 way down the neck where filler cap fits and takes a small amount (50-100ml) to top it back up , that way I know within a day if it's not working or for some reason it's used less or more than normal ...

as a "dumb engineer " myself ,i once forgot to fill oil tank , left a bigger skid in my pants than on the road ,l12ard's routines the way to go ,got a mate who was spraying his scoot n left masking tape over sight bowl ,result was day he remembered n took it off discovered he was already out of oil ,got away with it but a full oil tank's a re-assuring sight to see , H

black around bodys from the tickover , brown on nose is from the run , but to be sure ,run a minute to 1 1/2 at full throttle ,clutch in engine killed , pull plug n look , if its still golden so are you , but reckon your good as you are ,looks same as my daily hacks 1 , H

Thanks for the explanation H and the link KRU ! I was just about to ask a few more dumb questions but I'm on it now my plug chop was deffo after a little idling so that's probably the wetness No I was never ever going to ask what WOT meant never no I knew already honest
