I just brought home a 1996 Polaris 400L racing quad. Man, I'm stoked. Thanks to all who answered my questions before my purchase. This is a great forum. I do have another question. I did a search on this site for "pre-mixing" but I am confused about the pro and cons of the different ratios. The guy I bought my 400L from said he mixes 52 to 1. I went down to the Polaris dealer and he didn't agree, he thought I should be mixing 32 to 1 or maybe 40 to 1. My quad is far from stock. I did fill my tank using the dealers recommendation of 32 to 1 but man it's now a smoker. The goodies I have on it is: if this helps.
DG Pipe
DG Pushbar
DG Nerf Bars
Fatty Pipe
Cool Head Cylinder
Port and Polished Head
Wiseco Piston
Mikuni Racing Carb
Boyesen Power Reeds
Clutch Kit
Rental SwingArm
Rental Handle bars
Wheel Spacers in rear
ITP Aluminum Rims
Razar Tires
BiIlet Gas Cap
Read FOX Racing Shock
After market Polaris front shocks
Poweder coated frame

Can anybody clear this up for me. What ratio should I use for a 1996 Polaris 400L racing quad using 93 octain fuel?


Thanks guys. Rock on!

 

I have a 97 Sport with the mods listed below and I mix mine 40:1. I run race gas but I would still mix mine 40:1.

 

i run 40:1 as well

 

thanks
