Its my first 2 stroke since a 1980 PE 250 (I know i am showing my age)

After some general advice:

1. Any tips on running in?
2. Any preferred oils for the gearbox?
3. Is 50:1 the right premix ratio

Thanks for your help in advance
Congrats!

1.) ride it calm when engine is cold, ride it normal when engine has warmed up, avoid WOT in deep sand or steep uphills, shift a lot and after two hours its ready to braaaaap!!
2.) any oil you like but GG says it should be 10/40. More important: no auto oil with friction reducers, check its suitable for wet clutches (jaso-MA)
3.) Yes

Have fun and drop a line from time to time
