I was running 32:1...That was until all my bikes burned up in a house fire. I was going to go to 50:1, as many members do.I used to use amsoil in snowmobiles in years past and only had to mix at half ratio as other oils... worked great........
What ratio are you guys running w/ this in the china motors??? Regular oil calls for 32:1... So are you running 50:1?
You put a 80cc engine?I run Red Line synthetic 2 stroke oil. Red Line recommends 50:1, up to 100:1. I run it 50:1 because I live in a hot climate. After 2 years, and 2000 miles, I just removed a motor that was still running great. The only reason I changed it was because it was 48cc, and I wanted to go 80.
It's really only 66cc, but it's equal to 80, 4 stroke cc's. That's the real secret to how the chinese figure the size of these engines. Not many people know that.You put a 80cc engine?
Ummm, wrong. They consider it 80cc incuding the squishband in the combustion chamber along with the actual cc of the piston travel. I thought most knowledgeable people knew that? It has nada to do with 4-strokes, but that's a cute summaryIt's really only 66cc, but it's equal to 80, 4 stroke cc's. That's the real secret to how the chinese figure the size of these engines.

In Texas, everything is bigger^ haha agree'd was sort of cute.
Lots of engines can be rated two CC's, it makes you sound like you got a bigger engine xD
See what I mean, even you didn't know it.Ummm, wrong. They consider it 80cc incuding the squishband in the combustion chamber along with the actual cc of the piston travel. I thought most knowledgeable people knew that? It has nada to do with 4-strokes, but that's a cute summary
I've got an old Amsoil DVD of their product I can post with their permission.......let me know.
Of course, 66cc is a lot bigger than 4ci^ haha agree'd was sort of cute.

That all depends on if you're talking about cubit centimeters, or chinese centimeters lol.Yeah it is just that it ain't no 80 cc....
Would you even know the difference ?That all depends on if you're talking about cubit centimeters, or chinese centimeters lol.
Oil type matters a lot, too. You can easily run a full-synthetic in these engines at 50:1. I would never run as much at 16:1. That's way too much. Maybe if you're using regular motor oil or something, but that's completely unnecessary with two-stroke oil. They're also not just bare aluminum cylinders, they're usually chrome lined.I'm new to these bike motors, but I've been a 2 stroke outboard boat motor mechanic for 12 years... You can lean out your oil mix a little bit with better oil but I don't know how much I would lean this motor out. The cylinder is very soft aluminum and built nothing as strong as a snowmobile which has steel sleeves that can take the wear of a leaner mix. I'm personally not going to go much leaner than 16;1 when my motor is broken in. These china motors don't burn much fuel so they won't use very much oil at all even if you do run on a rich mix.
