THINKING ABOUT SWITCHING OIL


Recommended Posts

eeerrrr..... for those of you running high fuel/oil ratios....

 

Yamaha recomends 24:1 in the tech manual...

 

 

I was wondering how often ya'll check/change piston rings, wrist & rod bearings with pre-mix on the THIN side of reliable?

 

Or: how many hard ridden hours between top-end rebuilds @ 40:1?

 

THX!!!

klotz here. 40 to 1. besides the smell its seems to burn clean. Personally I think Yamulube bites. I ran amsiol for a while hard to get where Im at. One palce carrys it and its mighty expensive

The manual says al kinds of stupid things. 24-1 for breakin is smart though.

Running MC1 here 50 to 1, but I think I need to try H1R and see if I go through so many plugs

You can order the amsoil right from their website, much cheaper than Yamalube I don't know what Klotz runs though. Just got some 100:1 in last night shipped out on Friday.

 

I was always told Yamalube 24:1 for break in and then 32:1 after that. I used to run it @ 40:1 with no problems.
