Does anyone know a good fuel mixture for a 85 250R ATC? Like everyone else, I've heard many opinions, but figured youse guys are the experts! I just got the trike, and would appreciate any info/tips. Also, does anyone know where to get some chrome foot pegs at a decent price for this bike?

 

Your talking about mixing the gas and oil right? Well pick a good name brand. Dont just to go wal-mart and pick out something cheap. Some good name brands are red line, amsoil, klotz, bel ray, golden spectro, maxima.

For the ratio use 40:1 for all around purposes.

 

I agree. 40:1 is a safe ratio. I personally like Torco gp-7.

3 ounces of oil per gallon of gas.

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I use dumonde tech at 32:1,but any big name brand will work. Try to find out what last owner was mixing at,if you change you may have to rejet.It will change your fuel[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]il ratio,not air:fuel ratio-but will affect jetting....hope this helps....now get rippin!!!! now bye

 

Thanks guys! The previous owner said 12 oz. of oil for 5 gallons of gas is what he used. I just wanted to hear other opinions. My buddy goes 32 to 1 mix. I use Maxima, I wouldn't get no cheap stuff. My seat is kinda slippery and hard to stay on when gunning it. Any ideas other than a seat cover/ stick em? If not, I might get another seat.

 

Don't go ******* WallFart, that's the only place I've found Castrol 2 stroke mix that wasn't fully synthetic.
As for the ratio. I was running 40:1 and going wide open down a paved county road and it decided to take a crap on me. Til I get it broke back in, its 24:1 and then probably 32:1.

Foot pegs? Can't help ya.

 

it probably "craped out" on you because of your jetting. If you think youl be able to un 24:1 think again. The plug will foul alot and it will be loaded up alot too. 32:1 is an ok ratio. I used to run run that but 40:1 is cleaner and runs smoother when properly re-jeted. oh ya and did i mention more power.

 

40:1 is what i run my 86R at. It is a great ratio, no loading up once your warmed up. By the wat Chris142, 40:1 is 3.2 oz per gallon not 3 oz per gallon, which is 16 oz per 5 gallons, so if you mix up a 5 gallon can it will be a little easier to figure out.

 

True I actully run 42:1......Not that it matters.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

cool, i just didnt want him to be mislead when he was mixing his fuel and oil.
