Yamalube Premix Ratio

[night]

The Banshee user manual says Yamalube at 24:1 and other oils 20:1.

 

As a precaution I ran Yamalube at 20:1.

 

How about you guys?

 

Is Yamalube 20:1 going to creat any problems for my Bone Stock Banshee? Any advice will be appreciated.

32:1 will work for a bone stocker.20:1 is a bit rich.

32:1 here and have good luck.

1 quart to 5 gallons is what I use when using yamalube

[Master of Faster]

Thats a TON of oil, I run 1 pint to 5 gallons, 40:1 and that has been plenty for both Banshees.

nothing wrong with doing what the manual says. afterall they are the ones who made the banshee.

I cant help but think the manual says not to modify the banshee with anything but yamaha parts? I'd steer clear of yamalube period, especially that much

I'm sure dude meant 1 pint, no quart. I dump 1 pint and fill to 4 1/2 gallons. Yamalube only

2R isnt a bad lube. i prefer the honda HP2 personally, but i think they have better chems all the way around.

Thanks for the responses.

 

One more thing, someone said 20:1 is a bit rich, so what does that imply?

I mean what do does it mean, my shee will perform less?

 

Thanks.

[Rustbag]

he meant thats a lot of oil per parts of gas.

 

i run 32:1. yamalube. never a problem. I've even ran 40:1 before without a problem. Just feel safer at 32:1

[EastCoast Banshee]

Klotz 40:1

You need to pick a oil that you like and stick to it, don't change around just because one happens to be on sale. If most people are running 32:1 or even 40:1 with a certain kind of oil then you may want to follow suit. The book is going to tell you to stay within safe levels because they don't want to take the liability for you destroying your quad.

 

A lot of the people on this site have been riden' shee's for years and know what they can get away with. Good luck man..............
