Yeh dude from what i've read about current 2 stroke oils 40:1 sounds fine, Some guy's here use the opti 2 oil at 100:1!

It does really depend on the oil. 40:1 is fine with many oils.

Yeah i also use Motul synthetic oil in my motorbike and go-kart. Motul is by far the best i have used. Before i started using Motul i was using shell in my motorbike and it kept fouling my spark plugs.
