I hope you don't mind, but I sent you an e-mail to take a look at and consider.

Now that you are doing ATV's full-time, I will try and send some business your way!

Are you heading down to Mexico on Thanksgiving?

I run amsoil series 2000 at 50:1 in my 250R. I wouldn't run anything else. I never foul a plug, never have smokey exhaust, race it every weekend, practice a few times a week. Basically beat on it all the time and I never replaced the top end yet. The compression has never dropped yet.

I run Maxima 927 at 32:1 (Oil injection removed). Smells great and have not had any problems.

I run HR1 in my banshee and it runs great. I rebuilt it and started running it. popped the head to see how she looked and there isn't one spec of carbon on the piston. The walls look great. It burns very little smoke and smells nice. Doesn't irrate the riders that will always be behind me.

Power Plus smells like strawberry shampoo. It is made by Manhatten Oil Co., somewhere in California.

I have been using it for several years. I am very pleased with it. No fouled plugs, clean burning, reasonably priced.

They make a 100% Synthetic and a Synthetic/Castor blend. I use the blend since I like the way the Castor smells when burned. It recommends 50 to 1 in water cooled engines. However, I run it at 40 to 1 in my modified Banshee just to be safe.

I also use it in my son's oil injected Blaster. It can be used as a Pre-mix and in Oil Injectors.

I run sintoracing at 20:1. It does smoke quite a bit but my manual says to use 20:1 ratio. What do you think is the best ratio to be safe and be cleaner ????

WOW...ALOT OF CONTROVERSY.....THE BEST OIL IS THE
ONE WITH A NAME BRAND,CAN BE BOUGHT LOCALY(IF NEEDED IN A JAM)AT A GOOD PRICE TO YOU!!!
SEE, WAS THAT SO DIFFICULT???WHEW....AND FORGET
THOSE STICKERS,JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE
LABEL!!(20:1 WAY TO MUCH!!!) MY RECOMMENDATIONS ARE....GOLDEN SPECTRO (50:1) AMSOIL (50:1 OR 100:1
THERE ARE 2 TYPES) YAMALUBE (40:1) AND IF YOU DONT RACE DONT SWEAT IT,JUST READ THE LABEL!!
NOW GO RIDE

Dude, the manual is saying thats what was recomended in 1988, now that there are better synthetics out. They recomend that u should up the ratio, just follow the label on the Premix and you should run fine. Did u foul any plugs when u were mixing it that rich??????
