I just bought a an 01 RM250 and I am a bit sketchy as to what the bike shop told me to run. Does anyone know how many 'mils' of oil to 10 litres of fuel

i would run 40:1.
whats the safe side? back in the day, my cousin's race team ran 50:1 on the YZ80's.
its what the bike is good for. most 125 and 250's are made for 40:1.

Yep, I had 98 RM250, basically same motor not much difference at all, and 40:1 was perfect

ive got an 02 rm 250 and i run 40:1 usually if not leaner and it goes sweeeeeet! just make sure u use quality oil. if your only using semi synthetic oil id probly run it at 32:1 too b safe

i asked at the bike shop and they said it would be ok,but i intended on getting 2 stroke next time. it seems alright though.
