BigMatt Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 I'm not sure how to word this but I'll try. I'm running my shee at 40:1 and its a little rich, but when I run 50:1 it seems to be dead on, my question is it is better to run 50:1 or rejet to run at 40:1, I'm not loking for mad power just whats good for the motor. Is running the bike at 50;1 the same as rejetting it to match 40;1? I hope this makes sense? Quote

Because at 40:1 there is LESS fuel going into the motor (leaner amount of fuel) but more oil (richer). AND with 50:1 there is less OIL going into the motor (leaner oil) but more fuel (rich) Understand the diff in the two? Anyways if your running a full synthetic oil 50:1 is fine I run Amsoil Interceptor at 50"1 for years and there no problem. Thats what they call for. If your running (dino) standard oil then i would run it at 32:1. Quote
