bansheeman1988 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 What kind of exhaust you running? and how cold is it outside? If your mixing it 32:1 for sure (8oz to 2Gal) then your fine and I wouldnt worry bout it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokespirit Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 You don't have to worry about that if you are SURE you mix is correct at 32:1. I run Castrol Power 1 fully synthetic at a 25:1. I just like to keep the motor lube properly, it hardly smokes. I have make some of my own testing over the years, up to ratios of 20:1 ALL of the motors ran more reliable (engine wear) from getting a bit more oil. A lot will differ from what I said, but this was the truth. A Graham Bell tested a YZ125 an RM 125 on a dyno to show that the 20:1 and 25:1 even makes at 9000rpm up to 1.5 HP more compare to the 40:1 50:1 mixtures and had showed much less ring wear and crank bearing's wear than the other mixtures. There is a myth that some say the less oil in your mixture the more power, this is true till a certain point, but you can always jet a bit for the richer oil mix. Like I said, I have tested this myself and runs XC with my bike and the wear is down compared to the other ratios I have run in the past. I don't say change your ratio, thats just my experience and some big engine builders. I know a lot will disagree and say its because of other problems, but I know what I know, the only bad thing about rich oil mixtures, if its not a synthetic oil, it is always a bit wet at the end of the exhausts when riding at low RPMs, but with what I do and the oil I am running, no problems at all... I thought a share this with you guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonsBanshee Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The bike I just bought has bel ray in it and it doesn't smoke. I'm changing to benol as soon as this tank runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinner Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 32:1 ratio is good and the mostly used ratio out there probably. If there is no smoke I wouldn't be worried at all as long as you are jetted correctly :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
