4.) Do I Have to Mix Gas & Oil on a 4-Stroke Engine?
There is sometime some confusion on which engine runs on an oil rich gas mixture and which engines run on only gasoline.
4-Stroke engines like the dirt bikes from FLPowerSports do not require you to mix oil with your gas. The 4-Stroke engines run on gasoline only.
2 Stroke dirt bikes and 2 stroke pit bikes run on an oil/gas mixture. This is because 4-stroke engine have an oil case to lubricate the motor. 2-stroke engines do not, so they need oil mixed into the gas.

^ Top of Page14.) What are the differences between a two-stroke and four-stroke engine?
2-Stroke or"Two-stroke" engines run on burning gas and lubricating oil together, which results in more bottom end torque, fewer moveable parts and better fuel efficiency. 4-Stroke or "Four-stroke" engines are a little different. Similar to car engines, they keep the lubrication and fuel systems separate. This keeps carbon emissions down considerably since there is no oil being burned in the combustion process, unlike the "two-stroke" engines. More modern scooters are using four-stroke engines, although many modern scooters also use two-stroke engines, especially in 49cc or 50cc models.
15.) Do dirt bikes, pit bikes, scooters and pocket bikes require any maintenance?
Some basic maintenance is required. With your Purchase from FL PowerSports is an owners manual for your Dirt Bike or Pit Bike. Inside is specific maintenance procedures you should perform on your bike.

17.) How do pocket bikes handle when compared to full sized motorcycles?
A pocket bike handles very similar a larger motorcycle, but because the wheels and bike weight are much less, it changes direction a lot quicker. Both are very powerful, and are not to be underestimated. The front wheels can rise up without hesitation with the application of power and they can turn very quickly. This adds to the excitement factor, but demands that the rider have protective clothing, and is familiar with the bike they ride.
