I've found 32:1 a bit smoky. I mix at 36:1 or 40:1. You can safely go even higher.
Today's oils are much better than in 1985 when that ratio was recommended.

If you are not running high revs for long periods.like sand hill climbing you can safely run maxima k2 at 40 to 1.Originally Posted by Greaseburner

32:1 works well for me, not a ton of smoke and safe at high rpms
