32:1 good or is it too much oil? Just curious.

That's what I run in my blaster, that's what everyone around here runs. That's what is recommended by most other people. It depends on the oil. Some can be safely mixed at 100:1

I run 50:1 in my quadzilla. I once met a guy at a bike shop who ran 100:1 in his drag banshee. 32:1 is a fine ratio. Just make sure if you decide to change your mix ratio that you change your jetting too.

How do you run a bike at 100:1... I just don't understand how.... Wouldn't the engine just burn right up? 50:1 I can see, but even that ratio is lean. How is something like that possible without burning up your engine?

Amsoil can be run safley at 100:1. That does sound lean, but I've heard they have a gaurantee or something like if your motor blows up they'll fix it for free. I don't know if that is true.

Wow, that's a good deal if that's the case. I'm not sure if I would risk it though. 32:1 should be good for me. lol

yes dirt, they do. AMSOIL is gaurenteed for 100:1. If you engine blows up, with their oil in it, they'll buy you another one!

what if you blow up your motor while running their oil at a different ratio, such as 50: or 32:1 ?

You will be running your motor too rich.. and, I dunno, I talked to a guy from AMSOIL at the dallas supercross race.. and he said that they gaurenteed it!

So if I am just any ol' dude beboppin around with amsoil 32:1 in my engine and it blows then they will replace my engine? That doesn't sound right. What if my jets are off? How do they know what oil I am running? Do you have a number to this company?
