This is pretty close.

Damn...I forgot to ask...

1) The pattern (it's 4 gears, I'm assuming one down, 3 up)
2) If it's mix or injection
1) Nah, I'd guess they're either all up or all down.
2) Don't know. Look for an oil reservoir. I had an old Yammy and didn't have much experience with the little Hondas. My Yammy was oil injected, but for some reason I don't think the Hondas were.

RT100 is oil injection. The oil reservoir in under the seat. A full tank of oil will last you many tanks of gas. If I remember right the shift pattern is 1 down 3 up.

Yep.

Fun little bike.

I had a DT100 as a kid. I thought it was a 5-speed?

Before you fill up with straight gas, check the oil line from the tank to the pump and the pump to the carb. Many people bypass the oil injection and switch to pre-mix. Yamaha uses plastic gears in their oil pumps and are prone to failure.

I've had bikes and PWC's with both set-ups. I don't want to jinx anything but I see no problem with the stock set-up.

Aware of this, hence why I should have asked.

It seems to be a 4 speed. Rode it. Needs some diddly shit - levers, mostly...hand and foot controls are all a little twisted (typical for a dirt bike), the clutch lever is snapped off at half. The bars are aluminum, and a little tweaked. The kick start doesn't catch every cog, but it starts real easy, just choke, no throttle. Because the footpegs are a little tweaked, it's actually easier to start by hand (for a man with a size 10 shoe)...that's how easy it kicks over.

This, of course, also suggests that a ring may soon be in order, but for now, it seems to have enough squish to light and run.

It was a little fat on top, but it's cold. It's probably jetted OK for normal weather, and summer gas.

Do yourself a favor at look at http://www.parkeryamaha.com/

I just bought almost all the same shit for the wife's quad (bars, levers, cables) and these guys were a fraction of the cost of other sites.

I paid less for new bars, two levers, an oil filter and shipping than other places wanted for JUST the bars.
