    My new 250r and ?

    Just got her home. Trike has been a show bike most of its life. Bike has pipe and silencer and reed kit. Owner said he ran 50 to 1. I think thats to steap. I am going to run 32 to 1 do you guys have a chart for 32 to 1 for each gallon of oil. Also for you amsoil guys which oil are you running in the gas and the crankcase.

    Thanks Jim

    Nice trike man!

    I run Amsoil Dominator at 40:1 with no trouble even though Amsoil says their stuff is good for 50:1. I'm not real comfortable with 50:1, although I have not had any bad experience or heard first hand bad stories about it. Oil is relatively inexpensive, and good insurance.

    As to your question about a chart, I use one of those graduated pre-mix measuring cups. It's graduated for a variety of ratios and very simple and handy to use. I think they only run about $10 or so. I recommend getting one for mixing your fuel.
    Trikes:
    '85 ATC 350R
    '85 ATC 250R
    '86 ATC 350X
    '85 ATC 350X
    '84 ATC 200ES Big Red
    '84 ATC 125M
    '85 ATC 110
    '85 ATC 70/110

    I bought a ratio rite a few years ago at the local honda shop for 5 bucks if I remember right it's the best money I ever spent. It's got all kinds a measure graduations on it very handy thing to have. I used to run ams oil dominator in my bikes but the local shop went out of business so I stopped getting it.

    I use my Ratio Rite cup for mixing premix, measuring out fork oil, and measuring out trans fluid. I've had mine for over 20 years.. If you can, get the cap makes it so you don't have to clean the dust and dirt out of it as much. Cheap too..

    If by crankcase you guys are asking about the transmission, I run Valvoline ATV 10w-40. It's wet clutch safe and the viscosity recommended in my Honda service manual.

    BUT, there are many different schools of thought on the subject of what oil to use.....

    I have a ratio rite - I had no clue they have a lid for them. Awesome - I learned something today. The lid will be great! I have to keep it in a big baggie now to stay clean.
