32:1 is the most common.

Either one but once you decide stick to it and use the same oil every time.

Make sure you jet your bike well to get the most out of it.

32:1 if your using regular oil, i used to run 94 octane and 50:1 with SYNTHETIC pre-mix

the bottle guarentees up to 100:1, and the provincial racers use 80:1, i had no problems with 50:1 with "AMSOIL synthetic 100:1" , and was riding in 35 celsius or 95 farenheit

compression always stayed same throughout seasons, so must be good oil

why do you need to choose a particular oil and stick with that? what bad comes out of switching brand of oil?

Less chance of making a mistake is one reason for sticking with a particular brand & ratio.

But, things get more fun when you mix Synthetic Premix with Dino based Premix.

I've heard that you can get gelling and whatnot when mixing different types and brands of premix oil.

one reason to stay with one oil is consisting burning- if u jet for one oil and u switch to another oil it could be too rich or lean- whenever i ever switched oil it seemed to be more rich
