    I use Golden Spectro in my 85 250R. I have run it at 50:1 with no problems but prefer to use it at 44:1. I just raced it in Ohio at the Summit Indoors mx and it ran great. I would recomend 44:1 if you do alot of WOT on dirt roads and such or mx. For trail riding I think 50:1 would be fine.

    I have had my 85 250R for one year and have always ran 32:1. Blue Marble. Last weekend, a couple knowledgeable people mentioned to me that judging my the amount of smoke out of my pipe, I should start mixing 40:1.

    I used Klotz Techniplate this year 40:1. Had some problems with it seperating from the fuel and gumming up my Carb. Switching to Yamaha 2r in the next few weeks. Its been around for ever and have never heard a bad thing about it! Gonna miss the sweet smell of Klotz though......lol!

    Honda HP2 at 40:1 (i.e. one bottle to 5 gallons). Never have to worry about it separating or any of that stuff. Just dump it in and go. I've got YEARS of wide open minute long top end lake rides on my piston and its still working great. Oh, and the price is reasonable too. I believe one bottle is $7.00 so basically, $7.00 worth treats five gallons.

    Klotz R50 at 32:1. When in doubt, 32:1 will never get you in trouble. Been running it for years and never had a problem. Contrary to what most people believe, more oil makes more power and your crank bearings will last longer. I don't care if it smokes more, that's one of the endearing qualities of having a 2-stroke.
