Manual says 20:1 but just about everybody mixes at 32:1. You could have done a search and found about 1 billion posts on this same topic.

I mix mine from 40:1 to 28:1. It runs excellently if you mix it rich every once in a while! Later,

I have a 98 Banshee with a hopped up engine, Paul Turners, Air Strykers, etc., and I run Power Plus Non-Synthetic oil at 40 to 1 with zero problems.

The Synthetic oils can be run around 50 to 1. Non-Synthetic should run between 32 to 1 and 50 to 1.

Yamalube at 20 to 1 will do nothing but foul plugs, throw un-burnt oil out the silencers and basically gum everything up. I wouldn't run Yamalube at anything more than 32 to 1. But, I wouldn't use Yamalube at all. There are equal oils out there at much better prices.

Try the Power Plus products. They run great, burn clean and smell even better! Especially when mixed with race gas!

Love that 2-stroke smell in the mornin'!
