jonty Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I've just acquired an'03 Rev3 250 and am interested to know what fuel mix ratio other owners use.I've been told different things by two very reputable dealers.One says use fully synthetic oil at 50:1 and the other says semi-synthetic at 70:1. All input welcome Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr nick Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I contacted Lampkins a while ago about the mix for my Techno...he said 70:1 mix "semi" synthetic . according to him you should only use semi in Beta`s I had a large bottle of fully synthetic (Ipone) so will use all that up before trying semi Regards N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinky boots Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 I've got an '01 Rev3 and I run PJ1 Silverfire in it, at about 70:1, and have done for the best part of 2 years, and it runs nicely. I had a '97 Techno before that for about 18 months and ran the same. KB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiller Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Fully synthetic at 80:1. Thats what I have run in all my revs and never have had any problem with any type of buildup anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taff Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 80:1 in my 95 Techno & just rode my new 04 Rev3 at an indoor demo for three days also at 80:1 Opti 2 oil here in Canada. Best stuff ever, no blue out the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
