keith Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I have just been looking through Sherco's website and on their setup and lubrication guide they recommend a fuel/oil ratio of 80:1, I was told to use 50:1 by the guy I bought the bike off. Which ratio should I use, or is there any other recommendations? The bike is a Sherco 290 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I think 50:1 is too much with a synthetic oil. I use between 75 and 80:1 and run fine for 2.5 years. Won't do any good to have more oil in there. Can make it run hotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Thanks, I'll try 80:1 next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
