I'm having some bad flashbacks to a campfire incident I once had involving a 5gal fuel jug.

If you had a fire ext. mounted to your ATV that was burning I'm not so sure it would have helped you. However if you had an ABC fire extinguisher mounted in your garage you could put out a burning ATV, or anything else that could catch on fire. Mount a Fire Ext. in your garage and keep it charged and you'll be safe. Not to mention once you are prepared for something like that it will likely never happen which is great in and of itself.

definetely change that oil dude. Then, change it again after your first good ride. You don't want to have your oil thinned out from the gas to be what's lubricating your motor, never mind that too much oil can start blowing out seals. Better safe than sorry.

Well, I'm not a ds guy. Don't know what they're running, or what you got in there now. If it's petro based, then maybe a semi-syn for the first and then a full syn from that point on.

From what I hear, BRP XPS 2 stroke (full syn) is the best for my sled, so it sounds like BRP has their chit together as far as oil so maybe go with them.
