bought a kdx

[BIG_AIR2003]

I bought my brother's 91' KDX200 from him.havent rode it yet because the rear hub is broken but should get that fixed soon.
I wanted to know what oil ratio to use in the gas.I'm new to 2-strokes coming off of a XR100 any info would help. thanks

Depends on the oil you use. Generally 32:1 is the starting point.

Search for this topic, it's a fairly regularly beaten dead horse around here.

I used to have 2 different kdx's. 4ozs of oil to 1 gallon of gas(32 to 1)

kdx's will run forever......

I use a synthetic or synthetic blend like Golden Spectro at 40:1. I have not had any problems and have had better than average life of rings and components. I would point out that the manufacturer calls for 32:1. The only problem that I see regarding too much oil is fouling of the kips and spark plug. This will also tend to lean your mixture out a little as well. My $.02

I use Amsoil 2000 and run it 80:1. It all depends on the oil you use. I have been very happy with amsoil. Runs clean (jetted spot on) and no gummed up power valve parts.

Hope this helps,

Motochick, you ment 50:1 right ?

 

[motochick]

Yes, my bad. 50:1. I was thinking of our trials bikes which we run 80:1. The Amsoil 2000 is 50:1.
