Almost everybody mixes 32:1. The stock injector works well I thought. It just mixes the oil into the carb. too thick making it run rich and smoke more and robbing power from the engine. At least that's my opion. Does anyone else think this too!

I've owned 3 bikes(Kawaski KE-100, Trailblazer and Blaster) with the oil injection and i've never had trouble with it.

I'll never take it. It's so nice to just go dump regular gas in your bike and go. Need a fill up? just stop at a gas station and dump it straight in.

I've never fouled a plug on an auto lube..but have a 250 quadracer..

I have never fouled a plug either, running autolube. If plug fouling is a problem, get some leaner jets or don't ride it like grandma.

You may thing it smokes running 20:1, but I've NEVER seen a quad that smokes less than my autolube Blaster running Honda GN2. With YamaLube it smokes like crazy. Not with the Honda oil though.

Why "fix" what isn't broke? Why waste time making or buying a block off kit? Why waste money paying for it? It doesn't makes sense, unless you race. If you race its a 2-3 lb weight reduction.

And about the power loss... there is none. In "Two-Stroke Performance" tuning, a test was performed running 3 oil/fuel ratios on an old RM 125.

Running 16:1 fuel oil ratio it made 23.6 max HP.
Running 20:1 fuel oil ratio it made 23.2 max HP.
Running 27:1 fuel oil ratio it made 21.4 max HP.

Tests were preformed one the same bike on the same dyno, running the same fuel and oil. Only mix ratios were changed.
