Easiest way to reduce smoke/grung is to cut the premix's ratio down to about 40-45:1. I wouldn't do it, but I've heard of a lot of folks on this forum who like to run 50:1 and seem to do so without penalty.
That's easy??!Chili said:Actually the easiest way would be to learn how to jet your bike.
You got some grouchy people in your town. :rotfl:GhostofSilverider said:Since going the 4 stroke way , and after all those years I find the smoke ...just not politically correct , plus in town there are too many people staring at me and looking angry. :pissed:
I run 60 to 1 in my CR85, KDX200, KDX220 and KX250. I run 100 to 1 in my Gas Gas TXT280. :cool:Joburble said:What bikes are you running at 60:1? :yikes:

I wouldn't trust just any brand of oil to be run at those ratios. I feel very confident after inspecting some of the engines and finding that they have very low wear on them compared to previous brands and ratios.Acblind said:That's a little lean for my taste. I'd rather run on the safe side and use a little more oil and risk fouling a plug, than run too lean and have to an entire engine rebuild.
Just my 2 cents

But every forum has a 2 stroke oil debate going on it somewhere with people arguing about this and that and scientific findings. People get mad and really take off on each other, but in the end it doesn't matter what you run or like or what ratio you run it at as long as it does what you want it to for your engine. :yeehaw:
I couldn't even find any reference to mixing suggestions in the Gas Gas manual, but I can assure you that the bottom end power is the most phenomenal point on a machine of this design.whenfoxforks-ruled said:The power loss off bottom has to be tremendous. The manual on the Gasgas calls for 100:1? And this is all done with out jetting? And where does all the extra gas go? Dropping from 20:1 to 32:1 has a staggering effect, seat of pants proven, and verified by a few that spent millions testing the same thing. Past 40:1, a bicycle has as much torque, imo. The oil ratio did not foul the plug.
