It is advised to remove the pump f you plan to premix. Without the oil flowing through the pump it will burn up. If you do remove the oil lines and pump,...

I've owned a 72 R5 since 1978. Haven't ridden it since '87 when I burnt a hole in the LH piston. Any ideas as to what might have caused that? Its all back...
