Default I Bought The Banshee !!

Well I own it today, 1800 Bucks as I mentioned.... I went out and bought some goodies for it today.... As for the premix fuel I bought some castor 927 by maxima.... But ratio should I be mixing at, i'm more worried about engine life than performance, I was thinking 32:1 But the guy at the bike shop said 40:1 How much oil to mix 32:1 ??, I'll be mixing 5 gallons at a time, how much oil do I use ?? I bought a 16oz bottle........ Is this oil any good or should I buy better ?? Also what chain lube should I use, I bought BEL-RAY Chain Lube.... I also bought some "ICE" Coolant or whatever it's called.... Also picked up some "Cycle Wash" To keep her clean.... I'll post pics up here this weekend.... The bike is pretty badass, I dont like the headlights, I tried to ride it a little while ago in some trails, one light points up one to the side a little bit, and they seem kinda cheapy.... And they noticeably vibrate with the engine, kinda gives you a headache if you pay attention to it....

40:1 would be the 16 oz. bottle to 5 gallons of gas. Thats a little lean for hard riding, but for just cruisin it will be fine. Engine Ice is good stuff and belray is good chain lube. Have fun

I put on 16 oz castor 927 to 4 gallons of gas. that will give you 32-1. Good luck and have fun.

What should I be mixing in my banshee ?? It's got brand new PRO-X Pistons and rings and felpro gasket set if any of that matters, it's ridden long rides, not hard but long, I am more worried about ring life and protection than performance.... THanks !
