What oil mixture is everyone running . I'm still breaking my motor in on a 32:1 mix what should i mix it at after the break in .
oil mixture
- Thread starter headtrama
- Start date
If all seems well at 32:1...leave it alone. That is a good compromise between the recommended 24:1 and some of the exotic synthetics. I'm one of those Opti-2, 100:1 weirdos but I do not recommend it to everyone. Use a good quality 2 stroke oil formulated for air cooled engines and you'll be fine. Check your spark plug color occasionally. Good luck, ride safe.

Outboard oil is for water cooled engines... (They run at much lower temps than air cooled engines.)
Move the 'C'-clip on the jet needle up to the top notch first & see if that helps.
Also, you shouldn't re-jet the carb until the engine is fully broken in.
Yes they are rich from the factory. 0.70mm is stock size.
Jets can be had at SBP.
I run 32:1 pretty much always, and in my gallon is always 3 oz synthetic oil (I like Amsoil Dominator) and 1 oz castor oil to make the 4 oz.
ill move it up a notch and see how it runs . How many miles does it take to break one of these in .
4 tank fulls or 200 miles thereabouts. Some engines don't start to run like a top until 500 miles. It's the luck of the draw.
I moved the needle down one notch and the bike is running good.The four stroking went away and it accelerates great now and seems to be running way better.
im braking mine in at 35:1 and im gonna switch to 32:1 after break in. thats what everybody seems to be running. i havent touched the c clamp at all. it runs fine. idles nice and everything. im not that worried about it because this winter i will be getting an addon racing carb and slant head from zoombicycles.
Woah! Aaaack!
Break it in with 20:1 or 24:1.
If you break it in with 35:1 the poor thing will not get enough lube and you will do internal damage; to the piston, cylinder, potentially overheat the rings, and possibly gall the bearings.

really? mines perfect running. me and my friend both broke it in with that and there is no problems at all. should i go to 24:1 for a gallon and then switch to 32:1. i was thinking about doing that.
yea im gonna run a gallon or so of 24/1 and then switch to 32/1. thanks for telling me, and im glad my motor is great even though i used that mixture!
well i mixed up a gallon of 24/1 and took it for a ride. its running good and feels like a smooth ride. im gonna do another round of break in with this mixture then go to 32/1.
