I am thinking that I will run red line unless you guys have some reasons not to or at least some reasons I should run something else. I will be running it in a Banshee. Oh yeah one more thing, what do you think I should mix the ratio at for the Sand Dunes!

I've only heard of a few people that run redline, I run yamalube 2-r@34:1. Smokes a little while putting around and warming up but clears out when you get on it (what is supposed to do). I run castor927 at 38:1 during the winter b/c its alot thicker oil. A major plus of yamalube is its easy on the wallet.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Most people I know run: Yamalube, castor927, AMSoil,or golden spectro. ALL of them are gonna be good oils, its all a matter of personnal preference. Castor smells REALLY good though.

I used to run Red Line.... Smells awsome! Now i run amsoil. I cant notic a diffrence. I think the amsoil smells even beter.

ONLY use red line, amsoil, golden spectro, or klotz. ect.. All that other sh** really isnt that great. Iv heard alot of bad things (and seen a few bad things) from people that used to use that other stuff.... BUT w/e you do pick a name brand oil. Dont just go to wal-mart and buy weed wacker oil. Red line would be a great choice for you......

Thankls for your suggestions, I had a 125 and was running Torco 2 stroke oil, and blew up twice and then I switched to Red Line and never had a problem. But U wasn't sure what to use in a Banshee, I would rather buy good oil the have to rebuild alot.

So do you guys reccomend mixing anywhere 34-38:1 , would 40:1 not be enough!

5.00gal:=40:1, 4.75gal:160z= 38:1, 4.5:16=36:1, 4.25:1=34:1, and 4.00:16=32:1

There you go.

That is good to know, thanks. With Red Line being a synthetic oil I have heard that you don't have to mix it as rich, Is that at all true. If you were running red line what would you mix at!

so do you think that it would be safe to mix red line @40-1, it is also a synthetic oil
