As far as I know, the pump is for oil premix only.
You need to make sure the oil pump is disabled if you're going to go the premix route.
if you're going to go back to using the pump you must make sure it really works and is tuned properly before using it.

the bike is allready running premix as i bought it 2 weeks ago and would like to keep on premix but keep reading well they also lube the main bearing? how is the pump disabled but sure the repair shop should know this?. as long as it wouldnt damage anything would rather run premix. many thanks for your help :grin:

Feel free to stick to premix. 36 to 1 sounds good to me. IF!! the oil pump ever went out, you would be screwed. Just make sure it is disabled, blocked off, etc.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:

On my Suzuki street 2 stroke I use premix and I haven't done anything to "block it off". I don't think you have to.
