OIL MIXTURE
don46:
What are you trying to accomplish? do you think the more oil will keep your motor from seizing? It might, not because of the lube properties but because it will run so crappy that it doesn't generate enough power to produce the heat to seize it. You will reach a point of diminishing returns, in other words the adage of if a little is good alot is better doesn't apply, more oil will not necessarily seal your rings better, or reduce friction either. Your doing more damage to your motor than you are good, jet it right and use a good quality oil and you can run it 100 laps wide open with no issues. I'm not sure about the HP increase at the various settings, but, hey maybe stewart can try this on one of his dyno runs, I would think the opposite would be true.

100:1 1.28oz
80:1 1.6oz
50:1 2.56oz
40:1 3.2oz
32:1 4oz
24:1 5.3oz
16:1 8oz
12:1 10.6oz
8:1 16oz
so if a guy went from 32:1 to 50:1 that's only 1.5 oz less oil. if a guy went from 32:1 to 24:1 that only 1.3 oz of oil.
i have seen on the dyno 8% hp increase from 27:1 to 20:1 at max power. and 2% more at 16:1 ratio.

I don't believe it. Oil does not generate power, it takes it away. It burns hotter than gasoline and does not produce power at all.
stewart:
i would think it would depend on how long you ran at wide open throttle my buddy that built the 125 cart moters that won the nationals siad more oil more power for longer mm he ment giong from 50 to one to 32 to one on caster oil not the belray ,,,,, that saved it saved rings at 24 to32 to one i like belray hr1 at 50.to1 but it works great at 40 to 1 i like my kips valve to stay clean ..... and im not wide open all the time .... if you did that on my bike you would not live long enough to wear the rings out
FactoryPhil:
Why not try an oil fuel....like diesel?
:roll: hahahaha hahahaha. :roll:
kaw rider:
what do you think happens when you check your compression when the motor is cold and hot.
this what i do with my kx 500 motor.
