[QUOTE="BigRedAF, post: 1260071, member: 58172"] BRUNO670's opinions are fine and may be right for you depending on your weather conditions. You will find several opinions from several riders. Consider them all and do what works for you. His fuel oil ratio is 40:1 and that is what I use too. I ran Klotz R50 for several years, it's a good oil. Currently I use Amsoil Dominator in the same ratio. Yamalube-R 32:1 is a good choice if you cant find the others. Pick one and stick with it. I ride in hot weather and the jetting is to rich for me. The only bike that I have ever owned that was spot on was a 2002 YZ250. All four of my CR500's have been to rich in my racing areas, Texas, Arizona, California. Generally bikes are jetted rich to preserve the motor from the factory unless your riding in a standard conditions, 29.92, 59F and sea level. If they set them up perfect for summer riding in Arizona everyone will be trashing their engines in Canada. As far as the kick stand goes, PLEASE DON'T KILL YOUR SELF. I saw a guy crash on a enduro style of bike that he was racing on a MX track one day and the kick stand stuck in his hip. You will ride fast and you will crash so consider the stand. [/QUOTE]
