I just got my first bike done and i was wandering if premixed 40-1 craftsman gas is good for the break in, (the book says i should us 18 to 1 ratio). I also wanted to know if anybody uses the premix gas from the store.
I am currently running 40:1 with no problems, so it's good to know that 50:1 is OK.iwouldnt be afraid to run it man. I run 50 to 1 out of the box
What rear sprocket are you running? That means, how many teeth on the sprocket. A 41 or 44 tooth sprocket should give you decent performance but also, and to answer your question, the engines do run better, produce more power as they break in. This is because the piston rings/cylinder walls wear in and seal better which improves compression and therefore power. If your local terrain is very steep hillls you might want to consider a larger rear sprocket which will increase the hill climbing ability of your bike.I got the gas down now im having problem with the hills in my area, my bike works fine on flat land but when i get to a hill it has problems. Will that get better after the breakin?
thanks
That's a good description, although I always thought it looked more like that walrus-looking character from Futurama....if you have the carb with the black skull-shaped filter cover...
I see it as the Call of Cthulhu face, for all you HP Lovecraft fansThat's a good description, although I always thought it looked more like that walrus-looking character from Futurama.
EDIT: Oh, he's supposed to be a lobster.
I would prefer about 25:1 for break inI just got my first bike done and i was wandering if premixed 40-1 craftsman gas is good for the break in, (the book says i should us 18 to 1 ratio). I also wanted to know if anybody uses the premix gas from the store.
