running lean

[one_industries]

how can i tell if im not running enough oil with my peterol, the story was that i started buying motul 510 when i should have run 800 and then took out about 20mls from 250:10 and it ran good without fouling the plug or anything but i recond the motor is getting like 2 hot when im just like warming it up, sorry to crap on about an almost poinless story but is there any other way i can tell?

[[TOPGEAR]]

not sure, they only way i know is when the motor gets fried lol.

what bike have u got ??

98 yz125

but im just gonna drain all the petrol and just run it on 250:10 with motul 800 instead of being a cheap ass

[[TOPGEAR]]

just say 25:1.

thats pretty rich. 40ml per litre

[ALLEN]

25:1 holy **** thats rich.i run mine at 33:1 and its never fouled a plug.

[StUmPnthqldD23]

Better safe than sorry, 30:1 is a good. Will really matter whether you ride it really hard all the time or are you just hitting ramps and stuff?

[[TOPGEAR]]

32:1 is actually 32ml per litre. (31.3) but close enough

the others are like. 40:1 - 25ml per litre. 25:1 - 40ml per litre.

i run mine 25:1 (40ml per litre) when riding in sand and shit cause theres more strain on the motor

[HOLLYWOOD]

i run mine at 40:1 and use motul 800 and its sweet

[one_industries]

yeah im not a ******** racer or anything adn i dont jump ramps but when i bought it, it was running nice on 40:1 with motul 800 so im just oging back to that

[ALLEN]

i take back what i said about never fouling a plug,i pulled it out today for the first time i got it,and holy shit it was fouled.

yeah i run mine at 32:1 with castrol active 2t and its sweet although Motuls the best i just bought castrol because no shops were open but supa cheap auto.
