I've just acquired an'03 Rev3 250 and am interested to know what fuel mix ratio other owners use.I've been told different things by two very reputable dealers.One says use fully synthetic oil at 50:1 and the other says semi-synthetic at 70:1.

All input welcome

Thanks.

i dont have a rev3 but some of my freinds do and then run full synthetic 80:1 as i do in my techno

I contacted Lampkins a while ago about the mix for my Techno...he said 70:1 mix "semi" synthetic .

according to him you should only use semi in Beta`s

I had a large bottle of fully synthetic (Ipone) so will use all that up before trying semi

What plugs are you using that cost

jonty i use irdium plugs as they make my bike run better

if i was going to use a semi synthetic i would either use ipone Synthesis 2 or putoline mx5

why so much oil. when your queing for the section people must get pi$$ed of with you cause of the smoke i know this usaly happens cause i used to run my bike at 60:1 and lots of people got annoyed with me

My lad ran the bike this weekend on the new strawberry flavoured Putoline synthetic at 70:1 with no apparent problems.May try the PJ1 semi next.

Strawberry flavoured, your not supposed to drink it !!!!

jonty what type of putoline oil is that is it mx5 or something else

I've got an '01 Rev3 and I run PJ1 Silverfire in it, at about 70:1, and have done for the best part of 2 years, and it runs nicely.

I had a '97 Techno before that for about 18 months and ran the same.

Fully synthetic at 80:1. Thats what I have run in all my revs and never have had any problem with any type of buildup anywhere.

80:1 in my 95 Techno & just rode my new 04 Rev3 at an indoor demo for three days also at 80:1 Opti 2 oil here in Canada. Best stuff ever, no blue out the back.
