doctorchopper Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 60:1 might be a bit rich as well, i think most people run 80:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miner Posted December 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Manual says 50:1 but I just run the same 60:1 I mix up for the 300 EXC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 The pre-Pro models ran 50:1 as the fuel mix lubed the main bearings. The GG has a few mistakes in it. Pro models use the gearbox oil to lubricate the main bearings so less is required in the fuel mix. I run mine at 70:1 with a good synthetic 2T oil and its never fouled a plug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miner Posted January 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Still using a little gear oil but not smoking yesterday, bike felt good, throttle response was ok, good bark but probably a centre box/silencer full of sludge. Steamed out a couple of times without the fan coming on whilst rock crawling, after that it was fine, assume it was air locked. Mrs is woring tomorrow so will go for a hangover buster in the morning... splash of fuel, oil and coolant and should be good to go. On the plus side... felt much better yesterday, months of layoff coming good with reactivated muscle memory... cant bring myself to strip it yet... want to ride it.

richt Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 If it still uses gear oil then keep a check on the breather near the front sprocket. it can only blow it out, leak it or burn it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
