how lean do you run your premix?

[200x Basket]

I am running PJ1 gold fire Pro synthetic at 40:1. I have been thinking about going to 32:1 just to see some smoke :chuckle:

I ran some of the 40:1 in my lawn mower last week and it did not even smoke :wtf:

[Bryan Raffa]

is that PJ1 smokeless? some oil are made for low smoke

I run 50:1

[200x Basket]

it does not say "smokeless", who knows............

[lndy650]

i run most things at 32:1 some at 20:1
at 20:1 they smoke pretty good but you have to take into account the more oil you mix the lower the octane gos so any more than enough is just a power loss

[350Xhilaration]

40:1 in my Banshee for the last couple years. No fouled plugs and no melted pistons, so it must be ok. :w00t:

[200x Basket]

it makes me nervous when the 500r looks like a 4 stroke at WOT. heck, most 350x's smoke more :)

[Red Rider]

Redline synthetic oil & 100 octane race fuel @ 100:1.

WOW, i bet you dont smoke at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Erics350x]

alot of guys around here run 100:1 with Amsoil

[Red Rider]

WOW, i bet you dont smoke at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just a little bit upon startup, but that's about it.

[evand]

42:1 for me:beer

[tri-Z ripper]

always use a ration of 50:1 but thats me sometimes 40:1 in the summer when its 100 deg. or hotter but dont know if that helps at all!

[Billy Golightly]

50:1 Blue marble for me, have ran it as lean as a 100:1 when I was in a pinch and was running out of oil to mix up.

[Kintore]

40-1 is where im at with amsoil dominator in my PV motor

[tri-Z ripper]

nice have you been running the ams-oil long or just one season have been looking to change to that as well!!

[lndy650]

when i see a 2 stroke oil that says pre-mix only not for oil injection thats the kind i use ( Klotz Benol) if its that thick its gotta be good


it scares me to even think of 100:1 but i guess a lot of people do it

[Rustytinhorn]

I don't mind seein the smoke out the back. It kinda reassuring, as then I know for a fact that I remembered to mix my gas. lol
20:1 or 32:1

I second that notion, I like the higher weight premix oils. I race one of my 2-stroke cross country, well used to ( recently bought a Raptor to replace it), and it makes me feel better with lots of oil in there plus I believe it makes more power to boot. I started this 2-stroke thing at 50:1 with modern synthetics, then 40:1, about a year ago I went to 32:1 and now have regressed to 28:1. Still very little smoke once the engine is warm and I've jetted the carb to a nice warm brown color; both my 2-strokes run great like this. I use Mobil One Racing 2T and Bel Ray H1R. I'm currently out of Bel Ray and bought a case of the Mobil One so I'll be on it for a while.

32:1 Klotz supertecniplate or benol depending on the machine...

[250rfan]

I run castrol 747 @ 32:1 on all my Hondas AND Banshee's

I also run high octane race fuel on my tuned Honda's just for safety, never had a problem in i don't know how many years.

Coincidentally Duncan Racing run 32:1 on all their race banshee's, this is also what they recommend when you buy a tuned 250r cylinder from them.

[ATC-Eric]

I run 32:1 Klotz Super Technaplate. Smells SOoooooo good!

2 strokes are suppose to smoke, I get nervese when I dont see smoke.

[Tecate250]

Well Im the guy too keep the flys away. :lol: I run my tecate on ultramar 2 stroke oil sold at every ultramar gas station at 20-1. :crazy: I love seeing that blue aura around my bike. Plus it keeps tail gaters off.:naughty: :naughty:
I have been thinking of finding another oil. I was thinking of bel ray because of its avaliabilaty. Also ams oil as well. Also taking in consideration of price

Same here, and the smell is addictive :D

[tecat-z]

Well in all of my 2 strokes i run yamalube R at 32:1 with premium pump gas. The only exception to this is my Tecate. I run good quality fuel, mixed with full synthetic Torco oil at 40:1. Runs amazingly clean, and very little smoke. The outlet of my silencer actually stays dry to the touch, with no black tar at all. Looks like a 4 stroke exhaust. The 330R we just built runs the same fuel, and were getting close to the same results. And we're still fat due to the poor weather.

[clutchcargo]

I've been running yamalube R at 32:1 also for as long as I can remember and have never had any problems. Plus it's available at any yamaha dealer or even Rockymtn. I have used it in dirt bikes, 3-wheelers, jet skis and even my snowblower with no issues.

[ceaserthethird]

I Love - Motorex - @ 40.1 / 92 octane . Awesome - No Problems
&
Mobile one - 40.1 / 92 oct. Awesome - No Problems

HP2 - 32.1 - Just OK

All snythetic Oil's

[Tri-ZNate]

40:1 klotz Benol. I ran amsoil Interceptor at 40:1 but when I switched to klotz i actually noticed a difference.

[ATC-Eric]

Same here, and the smell is addictive :D

I also run it through my leaf blowers and chain saws so I can smell it while Im not riding! :lol:

[Tecate250]

Klotz huh! Have never heard of it. How much does it cost and where can you get it?

[iamschme]

just about any dealer should have it but rocky mountain does for sure. it smells like bananas when it's unmixed and nitro fuel when it burns so cool.

[OldSchoolin86]

Klotz Super Techniplate @ 40:1

[Tecate250]

Ill have to look into that. Thanks.

[dansvan]

Sounds like any name brand oil at 20:1 to 100:1. Got it.
