Best Mix

[Prettyboy]

I tried to search it before hand and came up with nothing so that why I'm asking. What is the best mix for a new motor on a 16:1 ratio? Also would premium gas make any difference because I'll put my money out for whatever's the best.

Premium gas will get you nothing unless you have a modified high compression motor.

So when you say amsoil I'll need 5w-40? Is this my proper oil number and where can I get oil because my shoprite has some if I only have to really worry about the number?

Also does there happen to be any 16:1 ratio pre mixes sold anywhere common?

No don't use regular motor oil. Use 2-stroke engine oil. Amsoil Dominator. Mixed 32:1.

Pablo's right, but there are a few different flavors of Amsoil. I use a 32:1 mix with Amsoil's 50:1 'HP Injector' 2 cycle oil (my engine is nicely broken in now tho).

All the "weight" oils are just for cars (like 5"w" 30), or any 4stroke's crankcase - not what you want

When I break in a new engine, I use 2 gallons mixed @ 24:1, Then after that I switch to 32:1
I use Valvoline 2-cycle oil... It'$ cheap & works pretty good.

I use the Castor 927 full synthetic with the tan label, i run 6.5 ounces to 1 gallon of 91 for the first 300 miles, this 2 smoker oil smells good and runs really smooth with very litttle engine noise. After the break in i run 5 to 6 ounces, there is a shop in my town that is selling some type avionic 2 stroke oil and claims you only need 1-2 ounces of oil to the gal. Im going to go check this stuff out but am kinda weary if it will shorten engine life running so little oil.

I have 3 bikes the first 2 i ran them in at 16.1 and then ran then at 20.1 using a mineral based oil Valvolen racing oil cheap but very good but the 3rd bike using same oil ran it in at 25.1 then changed to full sinthetic oil CASTROL TTS and now im running at 40.1 it can be mixed up to 50.1 thanks mick29
