i reccomend 50:1 in a liquid R if your always gonna be running a good oil like klotz,, i always ran amsoil in mine at 50:1, 40:1 was a tad rich, and 60:1 was to lean for me, 50:1 was perfect, just if you ever run cheap oil maike sure you mix it richer., theres a guy on the boards here thats running 100:1 and he hasnt had any probs at all (but i wouldnt reccomend that)
Give me no lip and I tell you no lie.

I run all my R's at 100 to 1 with amsoil, I just got back from silver lake and I rode that bike hard all day. I am going to tear it down and re ring it this coming weekend, I will get pics of the tear down once my rings show up, I'm a little curious to see what the piston and rings look like. This motor has about 20 hours of hard riding on it so I wanted to tear it down and do an inspection anyway especially after being on the sand all day.
