fastrthnu Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 just got my bike running , but it smokes kinda heavy. I got castrol 2 stroke oil and mixed it 24:1 because thats what yamaha said to use, but I read alot of people use a 30-40:1 mix. Should I use more gas? Everything is stock still for now with air box lid off. Quote
Handyman Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 try 32:1 and see how much it smokes....If yo ulisted your jetting/ engine set up we could help a lot more Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Posted January 6, 2007 try 32:1 and see how much it smokes....If yo ulisted your jetting/ engine set up we could help a lot more it was 270 main jet for toomey exaust, but I changed it to the stock 200 with 3rd clip setting on the needle and 2 turns out on the air screw. I have stock pipes for a few more months. Quote
Handyman Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 If you are 100% stock it just might be the oil or it might be that ratio you are running. Running too rich is better than running too lean. if the bike runs with out any problems I wouldn't worry too much. Quote
MILO Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 32:1 is pretty safe. mine literally had oil dripping out the silencers at 24:1 when stock. switched to 32:1 about 5 years ago - yamalube 2r by the way. you'd better do a plug chop anytime you make any changes to air flow or any major mods to be on the safe side, regardless of your premix.

tonyown Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 I run 50:1 motul800 and there's a lot of oil into cylinder/exhaust Quote

Could someone please tell me what exactly a plug chop is?. Quote

Crazy05 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Something most people dont know about mixing oil. Adding more oil is the same as changing jets. It leans the mixture a bit. 25to 1 is too much oil in my opinion. 32 to 1 is safe. 40 to 1 or 3 ozs per gallon is what I run. When its hot out I bump it to 32to1. 40to1 richens the mixture. Choose a ratio and then jet to it. Adding more oil 25to1 may need the next size bigger jet to keep it from running lean. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 if your running 25:1 your allready rich on oil.. by going bigger on your jet your only going to go even more rich...runs 32:1 - 36:1 and you will be fine... at 24:1 your going to have oil dripping from your tips Quote
