DO NOT GO LEANER ON OIL THAN 25.1, PERIOD ,EVER, NEVER !!
my engine was runnung very well and i decided to try leaning the oil down. went to full synth Amsoil saber pro and mixed it 75:1 which had been rumored to be equal to about 37:1 reg. oil.
this was all my fault, i knew the DDM techs have said to NEVER go beyond 32:1 no matter what oil.
so tonight after putting 18 hrs. into reconfiguring to my Staton verticle gearbox drive system i go out and run the bike and in the process burn a hole straight thru thr top of the piston. LOVELY.
now i have that to fix. AND i already HATE the gearbox. i guess i just underestimated the power loss, vibration and noise. got to figure something out to dampen that whawhawhawha chain oscilation for sure.
ride safe,
steve
