Ya fuck that site. Of course they didn't like me over there. I stopped goin there about 3 years ago, I use atvrider.com's 250R section, its way more relaxed. I used to get a lot of "hey ! This is a family oriented forum" so I didn't fit in too well. Secret moderators there too, shhhh big secret.

Jereme, please don't tell people to search. This is a forum... people are allowed to ask questions. I could make a point that just about every Banshee subject has been discussed here at one time or another. And please be nice to other members.And to the OP, all I ask is to try to post your questions in the correct sub forum. That goes for everyone.

Caveat emptor is Latin for "Let the buyer beware". Can't be policing this shit. Buyer beware, simple as that.

Hiper and beadlock are the correct spelling. The Hiper rims look 10,004 times better than the aluminum ones.

You should post a price....

Me too. Ran Amsoil for many years in Banshees and 250Rs. Mixed it at 50 to 1, no failures to report. I switched over to Klotz ST about 3 years ago because its easier for me to get.

I never understood why people have opinions on the mix ratio of a product that it formulated to be mixed at a certain ratio by the manufacturer. The chemists at Amsoil didn't just pick 50:1 out of the air. When guys say stuff like, one ratio is too lean, one ratio is too rich, I don't understand how you come up with that. Lean and rich air/fuel conditions are adjusted by jets, you adjust(re-jet) your air/fuel ratio to accommodate the manufacturer's recommended fuel/oil ratio. Now if the oil manufacture doesn't have a recommended mix ratio, then we can have a conversation about the appropriate mix ratio. Years ago you would have a hard time finding any info about the oil manufacturer's recommended mix ratio information, but now you see more and more oil companies putting their recommended ratios on their oil bottles. Looking at it from a business standpoint, the oil companies would rather see you mixed at 32:1 versus 50:1 because you need to buy more oil at the 32:1 ratio. Klotz Super Techniplate for example, tells you to mix at 20 to 32:1 for air cooled motors,and 32 to 50:1 for water cooled motors. FYI Klotz SuperTech is a blended oil, its not fully synthetic. Here's where I think the confusion started. Years ago, as little as only 10 years ago or so, the majority of oils were petroleum based oils. Guys and companies like Yamaha and Honda would use/recommend mix ratio's of 20:1 or the old standby of 32:1. They did this for two big reasons that I know of, one is the idea that the extra oil is needed because of the lower protection offered by the older, lower tech, 100% petroleum based oils. The second reason is because years ago cast pistons and iron bores were used, so you wanted more oil in the combustion chamber to protect these two parts and help seal 'loose tolerances'. But hell, its 2012... with Nikasil liners and a fancy forged piston, tolerances are closer today than they ever have been so you don't need that heavy coat of oil. TLDR; Someone tell your mix ratio that the year is 2012 not 1986.

Interceptor is formulated to be mixed at 50:1 which is 2.6 oz. oil per gallon of gas. I would recommend mixing it at 50:1. If you read Amsoil's literature on the product they tell ya right there, mix it at 50:1. If you listen to the other guys who tell ya to mix at 32:1 and you were originally mixing at 64:1(2 oz per gallon), then you are going to create a lean air/fuel ratio and you'll have to re-jet, or at the very least you'll have to fiddle with your air screws and keep a close eye on the main jet. Remember... if you add more oil to the fuel/oil ratio, you lean out the air/fuel mixture. Stick to the 50:1 ratio and keep an eye on your jetting for a little while.... Buy a ratio-rite cup with a lid. Hell buy two of em...

Got an asking price ?

I used Amsoil @ 50:1 for a few years with no problems. Switched to Klotz SuperTechniplate @ 40:1 about 3 years ago and haven't had any problems.

Yep, thats what I thought.

Was wonderin' if the auction winner is a BHQ member ??

I'd like to see a picture or three.
