Oil in the gas on a 4 stroke? even for break in , that is not needed. The only thing putting oil in the gas will accomplish is fouling the plug. To break in a 4 stroke, just warm it up, ride it easy with some good acceleration cycles to seat the rings. Let it cool down, and repeat to get the parts worn in properly, and change the oil to keep the metal particles out of suspension. It won't take long to get it broke in and running like a champ for years to come, with proper care.

Ya, I agree with 95wolv. I don't know why anyone would mix oil in the gas on a 4 stroke. As he said all it will do is foul the plug and make your brand new quad smoke. So when every1 asks you if you premixed it ask them why you would do that on a four stroke and come back and tell us. I know I'm curious.
