Banshee18267 Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Would it do any good to run 110 Octane fuel with stock pistons and carbs? My bike does have coolheads, V-Force Reeds & aftermarket pipes. Thanks David Quote

Nighty Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 On the mixing ratios: If you guys say 1:40 you mean 1 European liter of oil goes trough 40 european liters of gas? hmm but i guess it wont make a difference.. since ratio would be the same for 1 gallon of oil mixing with 40 gallons of gas. silly me Quote

You won't have any trouble if you are using the same units for measuring. Quote
biggdaddy521 Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 leaner is meaner, but it's also harder on the wallet, dirtwheels says rule of thumb is 32:1 Quote
sheebroke Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 maxima formula K2 100% synt. 40:1 93 oct. yet to foul a plug Quote
smokin350 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 i run bel-ray H1R 32:1, vp c14 gas, with hp 80/85 engine oil, runs like a beast have not fouled a plug since rebulit!! Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 I used yamalube when I bought the bike maybe two or three quarts to break in the top end, after that I switched to Redline synthetic, 50:1 87 octane. I don't feel it is the best oil on the market nor the worst, but I do like the properties, I run it in my Banshee(50:1) my 88 CR 500(50:1) my 2003 Yamaha Zuma (scooter w/oil injection) and my lt 50 (also injection) I even occasionally run it in my wifes bike (yamaha Warrior) no fouled plugs, but very convenient,to be able to use in pre-mix or autolube/injection. anyone else use redline? higher or lower ratios?

Meat Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 im mixin' Amsoil Series 2000 at 50:1, and the Amsoil injector oil in my RZ. Last summer I ran out of series 2000 oil so I just used the Amsoil injector oil for atleast 20 gallons of gas...... didnt have a single problem with the injector oil. Im back to using the Series 2000 stuff now but in a bind, the injector oil will work for ya. Holyman is an Amsoil dealer, if anyone wants to try Amsoil just drop Holyman a PM. After nearly 4 years of 50:1 Amsoil use, my top end is still together and in one piece, altho I am due for a rebuild soon. Quote
Phase Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 I use Castrol RS 2T at 50:1. Never fouled a plug with it. Works great. Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 thinking about going 60:1 anyone have any experience? the plugs look like I have lots of oil at 50:1.... Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 my theory being more fuel will run cooler, I don't really run it too hard mostly duning, and a few runs up the "hill" but mostly low rpm lugging around the dunes...(waiting for Suzukis, and Hondas) Quote
powerman350 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I used yamalube 24-1 for the break in period then went to 32- 1 Quote
