What fuel oil ratiois best.

(1/2) > >>

rocman5190:
ive always used 32:1 ratio which is standard. I bought a small bottle of bel-ray h1r oil which is only 12.8 oz. bottle . the guys said to mix it with 5 gallons of fuel. my question is....... now this isn't the correct ratio.   this is closer to a 50:1 ratio..  i don't want to short change my engine on oil lubrication. should i just buy another container of the h1r and bring ratio back to 20oz for the 32:1... thanks in advance....pat..

cbxracer30:
I have always run Belray at 50 to 1 , I currently run a different oil and run it at 70 to 1. Running a 50 to 1 mix you may have to rejet , maybe 1 size smaller since this is a richer fuel mix , a good oil can be run 50 to 1 with no problems as long as the jetting is right . So the question for you is do you want to rejet and save a little money on oil , or spend a little for oil and not have to mess with it.CBX

the factory had the 32:1 to cut down on warranty claims . they knew most peop[le would not or did not know how to adj. the carb. 50:1 works great with a good oil premix.

Sapper:
Agreed with K5, adding to...They also base it on using a conventional oil, not a synthetic. We mix at 40:1 using Amsoil Dominator ot Motorex 2T. (same/same)

rocman5190:
so i'm not gonna jet anytime soon, and you guys are saying that i can use the h1r bel ray oil. thats about 50:1 without burning up my motor. or should i buy another bottle of oil and add the differnce to make it 32;1
