Fuel/oil mixture

Post by Jasper »

Hello
I have kdx200 e series
It has a sticker that says 32:1 mixture
Now my question is do i have to keep mixing at this measurements keeping in mind that it is 2016 and using the castrol power rs 2t (tts) oil

Is this oil more advanced (better lubrications) than the 2stroke oils in 91

Where and how do you ride your KDX? Higher rpm requires more oil, in general.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:

I would mix the oil at the ratio recommended by the oil manufacturer.
Amsoil 50:1 do me.

32:1 is the manufacturers recommendation because they don't want to be on the hook for engine seizures. Any modern oil at any ratio (32:1, 40:1, 50:1) will work fine. The two big things to keep in mind is that you pick an oil and ratio, and then jet to it. If you change anything then you'll need to rejet to get the best performance
