[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 166385, member: 20897"] Most oil bottles give you a range of ratios to use, depending on your riding conditions, and the amount of oil per gallon neccessary for that ratio. The Amsoil smokes a lot less at 100:1 simply because there is a lot less oil in the mix. I run Yamalube 2R at 32:1 in my bike, with very little smoke or spooge. I would never run less than this in a 250, and I would run at least 26:1 in a 125. More oil in the mix provides better protection, and a better cylinder seal, for more power and better running. Once you settle on an oil and a ratio, you can begin jetting the carb properly. A properly jetted bike won't spooge or smoke a lot once it is at operating temperature. 100:1 oil ratios were developed originally for fishing boats. They spend long periods of time at idle, then slam the throttle wide open to get to another spot quickly. All the oil that would build up in the crankcase while idling would get slammed into the cylinders when the throttle was opened, with predictable results. [/QUOTE]
