Pre-mix, now you will be smoking all the time, using a lot more oil than ever before, need to rejet so you don't lean out. More oil means a leaner burn all the time.

On my 400 Trailblazer I use 1-2 gallons of oil a year. On the BUBBA BIKE I pre-mix and use 16 ounces every fill up and that equals 2 gallons a year and ride it 10% of the time, and smoke a lot more burning oil all time at same ratio instead of injecting it with throttle placement.

On my '94 400L put 5600 miles without a oil injection problem, changed oil filter every year to 2 years.

One more thing, gas breaks down quicker pre-mixed than by itself.

i must say polaris oil injection is no failure and very safe,i would suggest pre-mix on heavy engines mod only,as stated earlier,the injection is from
keeping the motor as clean possible with less oil used,the premix help
to save weight and keep the engine more lubricate cauze of the higher running temp and also help as a after run oil deposit to prevent ring scuffing then.
