Connor-back in the old days most of us ran 20:1 and I never did but I've seen people run at 100:1. The Motul 800 I'm sure is good stuff as well a Bel-Ray H1R and I'd feel safe at 32:1 with eather as long as that is what it is jetted for. For me I'd even give up a little power for a motor that runs smooth, clean and will not let me down. Oh yea in the old days at 20:1 there was always black junk leaking out of the head pipe and the joint of the pipe and muffler and the end of the muffler. There is alot better oil out today for 2 strokes. I think you will be happy with the way your bike runs after you get it back together, be sure you look at your plug before you run it to hard or long. I know it sucks right now but your learning alot about your bike and motors that is priceless in the long run, so hang in there and get it right.


P.S.--------get the gold colored power valve it is the one that offeres the smoothest power flow. But dont tell the others or they will all want one.
