[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1411431, member: 18302"] Lots of different opinions on oil and ratio, but IMO 32:1 is nice and safe for a 250 trail bike. Yes, pulling in the clutch after sustained top gear heavy load wide open runs should be fine. Its the combo of high heat, lots of revs and little fuel you need to be careful of with a 2 stroke on the road. Should not be a problem off road where you are off and on the gas. FWIW, I dual sported KDX's for years and never had a problem. When I blew up my CR, I was chasing guys on wide ratio bikes and we were topped out on a flat straight road for a long time. I rolled off the power to give the bike a rest, lol. By depriving the fuel and oil but stll going max speed and rpm, the crank bearings and big rod bearing overheated very fast. When I dual sported two strokes, I would bring oil in some small clear 8 oz rubbermaid bottles with tight screw top lids I got at the groucery store, and marked for ounces. I would ball park estimate the amount of fuel I needed, calculate the oil I needed (4 oz per gallon is 32:1), dump it in first, then add fuel. As the tank got near full, I'd add any more oil if it was needed. [/QUOTE]
