Your ratio is more oily than the 25 used for break in, don't add more it will bring the ratio down more. You are actually at 24:1 with 11 ounces to 2 gallons.

I. Would leave it unless you were aiming for 32:1. If so split the gas up into equal 1 gallon volumes, and add .375 gallons (or 6 regular US cups) of gas to each container, easily done at a gas station, fill the first container until the gallon counter reads .375, stop and fill the other container until it reads a total of .75 gallons.

Edit: sorry you do have 23:1, but in either case 11 ounces divied across two 1 gallon containers is 5.5 ounces to a gallon, or 128 ounces, you'll need 176 ounces of gas to make a 32:1 ratio with 5.5 ounces of oil, that's a difference of 48 ounces of gas, work it out however you see fit.

I forgot but I have around 10-11 ounces in the 2 gallon so that would be around 25:1 so would I be able to fill my bike up half way and pour the gas oil mixed one. I have the in tank frame I holds like half a gallon.
 
Is it ok to run red armor 20-25:1 ??

What other oils do you guys recommend and what ratio for them.

Still new this
 
24 or 25:1 gas to air cooled 2-stroke oil is the "conventional" break in ratio on the forum. It's the closest thing to an agreed upon ideal ratio for break in. Should be perfectly fine.
I have no idea what Red Armour is. I have Ipone Samurai because that's what I can get here. Does it matter? Not really AFAIK, as long as it's for air cooled 2-stroke engines. No worries. :)

So I have 1 two gallon tan

so what's the best agreed ratio 32:1?
 
View attachment 79067 I used a 23:1 ratio apx with this oil is that ok if not how to I fix it by putting how much more gasoline in?

I poured 11 ounces of this in a 2 gallon holding tank.

I was using manufacturer recomendation 20:1 then from time to time I notice 1 tank ran much faster and better then I would reload the tank speed and power came back down so .... I thought maybe ... I screwed up on zee mix so I got another gallon went to 16:1 or full 8 oz to 1 gal the bike once again ran faster had more power and performance.

But, a new performance exhaust has arrive still running last tank out out of 16:1 the next gallon I already mix 20:1 to see if it cures sputtering at high speeds, will know tomorrow taking 100 mile + trip.
 
32 if you are past break in, you can add gas after splitting it up as I prescribed and you'll get a good ratio.
I figure fill half gallon
And another half gallon from the 25:1 mix

0:1 half gallon plus 25:1 gal gallon= 50:1

After a gallon with 50:1 I add .7 oz of oil again to make a ratio of 32:1

Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
You'll need to add 1.4 ounces

1 gallon of 50:1 mix contains 2.6 ounces of oil

1 gallon of 32:1 mix should contain 4 ounces of oil.

To help you think it out, you put 11 ounces in 2 gallons, you plan to divie them up 4 ways with a half gallon each time. You want to take a half gallon, one quarter of what you have.

11oz÷4 is 2.75 ounces, that plus 1.4 is 4.15 ounces of oil in the plastic container, and the rest of it is gasoline.

30.8:1 a little oily but good enough.
