Holyman Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Best thing to do is pick a quality oil and follow the bottle instructions unless your engine is built by a shop and then follow their suggestions. I run Amsoil at 80:1 I used to run Yamalube at 40:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Quad Racer Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 they way i look at it is the more revs your gona ride at the more lubrication your gona need. The more oil you use the more protection your engine has so therefore your engine will last longer. Personally i would not mix it any leaner than 32:1 Have any of you guy read a book called "Two Stroke Performance Tuning" by "A. Grahem Bell"? He has a good chapter on lubrication. He found no power gain by running leaner oil mixtures and proved that the scuffing on the pistons was dramatically increased. He recomends 20:1 for hi reving road racers and 24:1 for mx/enduro bikes.

Holyman Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I think I've seen some excerpts from that. Wasn't that written back in 79 or something? The way I look at it is this. I use a premium quality oil that I feel does not reduce my reliability at all. Because I use less oil, I can save money and polute less. Some feel an improved performance by using less oil such as less plug fouling. In my book these are good reasons to reduce the premix ratio.

fixitrod Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 do you guys meen if i mix 1:32 that i wont loose my speed would it smoke more?? Depends on the oil. All of this depends on the oil. An engine is an engine. The oil is smart.. not the engine. Manufacturers design the oil to protect at the ratios they suggest. Oils are much more complex than they use to be. They will become more complex as time goes on too. I run 32:1 with maxima tundra R... smokeless oil.. .whatever that means... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
