jake_bayless Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 I am new to this site and i just got my banshee about a month ago and was wandering if you all could help me with the best oil to gas ratio to use? Quote
AtvStunter Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 32 to 1 297670[/snapback] exactly wich equals 4oz to every 1gallon Quote
jake_bayless Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Posted December 25, 2004 Should I use that ratio no matter what oil i use such as synthetic or castor Quote
Holyman Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 You should ALWAYS mix to the ratio shown on the oil you choose to use. I mix Amsoil at 80to1 which is 8oz to 5 gallons. PLEASE do a search. There are about a billion postings on this subject. Quote
jake_bayless Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Posted December 25, 2004 ok thanks sorry about this, i am new to this cite and didnt really know where to look Quote
banshee76179 Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 Lower left hand side of each topic or thread.... And welcome to the HQ newbie Quote
red ore Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 welcome to HQ... there is a ton of stuff about this, and we all can argue about the "right" ratio for ever. Do a little reading and come up with your own conclusions.... I mix 32-1, for LOTS of reasons..... Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 I mix 32-1, for LOTS of reasons..... 297896[/snapback] I mix 80-1, for LOTS of reasons..... Quote
banshees and beers Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 ya, for basic riding and such 32:1 is your best bet. Quote
Wallynut Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 Everyone has their own idea's on ratios, but alot depends on your oil. Pick something that is available to you in your area, from there you can decide on ratio. Stick with a name brand type oil. Quote
iceman Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 I was running MC-1 in my KX250 at 60:1 because it said to run it on the back of the bottle, took me forever to get it to run, I had to pour a bunch of straight gas in, now I'm mixing it at 32:1 and it is perfect, my bike is different from a banshee but same concept, make sure you use high octane fuel too.

jake_bayless Posted December 26, 2004 Author Report Posted December 26, 2004 I am using motul 600 right now at 32:1 but it still smokes alot and it says on the bottel it is anti-smoke i just didnt know if i was mixing it right or not Quote
