A word about pre-mix

[zeerx]

From 81 to 87 I owned a KDX250......from 87 to 03 I owned a KDX 200.....since 03 I 've owned a KDX 220R and ever since the first day I've used Golden Spectro at 64/1 with NEVER a piston/cylinder/crank failure. After reading all the pre-mix threads I could find I thought maybe I should change the ratio (40/1). All I got was more smoke and splooge. I think the key to this is right on the label of the Spectro bottle. "Concentrated" . Ya just don't need to use as much Spectro as the other stuff. Back to 64/1.

Cheers

I'm actually trying Golden Spectro @ 40/1 after using Torco's GP7 for a couple of years. So far I'm liking the results. The GP7 was good stuff, and a top-end inspection on one of my other bikes, showed good results. But I felt the bikes that used the GP7 required more jetting changes than the Spectro. Especially with my KTM 300. I will not know the end result of my premix change though until major engine inspection time rolls around at the end of this year.

Ive heard that golden spectro runs dirty, is this true??

I can't tell. I've only used Spectro.Can't compare to other per-mix oils. What I did see didn't look any dirtier than what I would expect.
