New to dirt biking, questions regarding oil mixture for a YZ250
Hey guys,
I recently picked up an older 88 Yamaha YZ250, it runs great and looks clean! One question I have that I never bothered to ask the original owner is how much oil should I mix in when I fill the gas tank? What kind of oil should I be using (10/30?), is there a special oil made for dirt bikes? I assume that I should be using 92 octane gasoline too?
The last dirt bike I had was a tiny little 80cc when I was a kid (10 years ago) so I have no clue as to what the proper ratio of oil/gas is. Also, any maintenance tips you guys could give me? Anything I should be checking/changing on the regular?
Thanks in advance! I cant wait to take it to Carnagy this weekend! :laugh:
edit: wow embarassing, its a yz250 :bang:
