    gas and oil mixes

    So..I kinda new to 2 stroke care.1985 250r..I'm running 32:1 .KLOTZ and 93 octane.I have access to cam 2 racing fuel like 105 octane. pro and cons?It's it worth it to buy the higher octane..and will it cause better wear and tear or worse?

    your mix is good,and the higher octane fuel wont do that much for you unless your running high compression piston setup

    The clutch could be the basket being worn or just a cable that is out of adjustment. Of course there are other possibilities but those are where I'd start.

    Buying race gas for a motor that doesn't require it is a waste of money, it will get you no more horsepower and might even cost you a few hp because it tends to burn slower than lower octane fuel.

    32:1 like your doign is great klots is good stuff... ( i personally also like pro honda hp2)

    you dont need the higher octain fuel unless your running more timing or higher compression

    Three wheeler guys probably have the biggest balls out of all the ATV/Motorcycle riders. You just have to be a little twisted to ride them, and you have to be a great rider to do so.
