premix
 

Was filling the bike up today with the jerry can that i had full of fuel (5L) was putting my silkolene premix stuff into it when my mate said hang on :confused:

My mate said im doing it all wrong im premixing to much with the 5L fuel i was putting in

5L fuel + 100ML silkolene premix, Correct?

I was also told this was the correct level of mixing from the guy i got the bike from.

Could someone confirm that im correct? :)

That would be 50 to 1 or 2% so you're doing it right.

gasser's spot on, heres a calculator you and your buds can use if needed.

Everyone run 50:1 here?

When I bought my LTR jet kit Les advised me to run 32:1. Against his advice I have ran 40:1 since the bike was new. Same in the kids bike.

I run 45:1. Used to run 40:1 which always left a small amount of spooge at the end of the silencer. 45:1 has always left my silencer clean.

I run 50:1

I run 38:1.

Why? More oil = better ring sealing and less wear.

My 2 data points...

Top ring end gap increased 0.006" in 91 hours at 50:1

Top ring end gap increased 0.001" in 49 hours at 38:1

This data was with AmsOil Interceptor. Your mileage may vary.

I am running 40:1 outta habit, I am gonna back off to 45:1 and see if that helps spooge.

See premix tables here:

It lists the amount of gas in first columns, then the amount of oil in the last columns.

5 liters is approx. 1.25 gallons... so 100 milliliters is right as mentioned previously.

The link above gives premix for a variety of ratios.
