I'm not sure how to do this, but part of the info is misleading. A "total loss" oil system typically refers to older design 4 stroke motors where there is no valve cover. The top end of the motor has oil pumped to it(typically valves, valve springs, pushrods or cams) and then the oil just drips or blows off. The term does not apply to 2 stroke engines. Typically 2 stroke engines oil the crankshaft & connecting rod bearings and piston by either oil that is mixed with the gas or injected straight to the bearings. In either case, the oil does not accumulated, but gets sucked up and burned in the combustion chamber. Some 2 Strokes mix oil with gas in the gas tank, others inject the oil between the carb and the piston where it gets mixed with the gas/air mixture. The GT750 both injected oil directly to the bearings and piston and injected it between the carb and piston.

The GT750 could do 500-800 miles on a quart.

The two stroke lubrication system is also "total loss", so the article is fine as far as I'm concerned. [[User:Sle|Sle]] ([[User talk:Sle|talk]]) 18:42, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the injection style oiling system on two strokes can more properly be called a "once through" system.[[User:H2RICK|H2RICK]] ([[User talk:H2RICK|talk]]) 03:40, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
