a couple things should be considered...like how hard are you on the clutch?..are you running steel or aluminum clutch plates?...what oil are you using for your tranny?.

I change mine quite frequently (like every 5-ish hours) because I'll only run aluminum plates....and I'm hard on a clutch. I've used Bel-Ray 80W Gear Saver for years...it's expensive, but I haven't had any problems/failures using it.

You should be able to run a 40:1 mix without any problems...be sure you're jetted for your altitude/conditions and it'll be good.

TJXK:
Certain conditions might require a richer mix, such as sand.  The motor has to work much harder so it needs more oil.  This is what I've been told, so maybe someone else with more experience could chime in.

KevinTwoStk:
Instead of changing the premix ratio for deep sand, run the jetting a little richer. Go up one size on the main jet, for instance.

Dutch-K5 Fan:
I holland it's mostly sand, and I mean deep and heavy sand.
And I ride 40:1 premix, only a bit richer on the jet/ needle than hardpack

Some one told me when adding more oil and not changing the jetting.
It could seeze because the air/fuel mixure is getting leaner.
Don't know it's true.
