November 3, 20178 yr Probably done to death but it’s a specific query.... Bike is 2007 250 TXT Pro, manual recommends mix at 2% which is 1:50. Is that set in stone based on long time going slowly? Or older oil technology? Going to pick the bike up from garage today on way back from off-roading and will be carrying 1:60 Motorex Cross Power 2T mixed 98 Ron Super for my KTM 300 EXC... just wondering if it’s safe to use to take it a quick run.... or if I need to make a fresh jug at 50:1. Cheers.
November 3, 20178 yr 80:1 if you ride it like a trials bike generally gets ridden. Feel free to use the 60:1 you have mixed.
November 4, 20178 yr Are you sure it says 2%? The manual for both my '04 125 TXT Pro and my other half's '02 250 Pampera says 1.5% (67:1), and I usually do 60:1 just to be on the safe side - both run at quite high revs though. 50:1 is what goes in the twin shocks, I'd expect a 'modern' bike to get oiled up by that kind of ratio

November 5, 20178 yr Rather than have two lots, one for the twinshock and one for the Beta, I ended up running 50:1 in the Beta witth no oil problems. In fact I'm not sure the slightly weaker mixture resulting didn't improve the running.

Both my and my other half's Gasgas' shed about a kilo when we sorted the exhausts. A little academic now, as I sold my GG today
November 11, 20178 yr Author Deffo says 2%.... took it out for a short run last weekend, didn't blow up. Was at fairly low revs just a bumble about to see how the bike was going after exhaust repair and new tyres. Maybe go out after MotoGP qualifying but maybe too hungover....
