t-shock 250 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 What age/type of bike are you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjbiker Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Have a look here 'Clicky Linky' but t-shock has a valid point, if it's an older bike you might want to stay away from the lighter mix? GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardman73 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 thanks.....bike is a 96 fantic section 250, the guy i bought it from was running 40:1......i was told by the local shop 50:1......and mike from the trials shop in ny told me 80:1 (seems to have a damn good reputation so i ordered the castrol synthetic he recomended and will give it a go...even though i am a bit weary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Mike knows what he is talking about. But i will add that a bit has to do with just how hard you are running the bike. Just general playing about at the trials stuff, you should be fine. Running it harder like an enduro bike would be different due to extended high revs. I have run as high as 100:1 in the watercooled bikes for years if just putting about.
