Oil Pump versus Premix

Post by supastar »

If one can use Premix successfully, rather than the oil pump, why did Kawa bother with the oil pump?

Yeah why would you want to piss about mixing oil every time you stop at a gas station?

Without an oil tank/pump I think there would have been a lot more people cursing Kawasaki as a result.
