I took my bike out on the main road and when cruising 20-25 it bogs a little and then levels out a bit. Is this just from my heavy oil mix for break in, or is it something else?

It's on my bt80 bike. I put more gas in a gas can that had maybe a quarter worth of 36:1 and put oil in it for 36:1 for the whole thing.
If it were me, for break in purposes, I would have had MORE oil in it...25:1...After breakin I would never go less oil than a 32:1 mix.

Sorry, I meant 26 not 36. My bottle of 2 stroke has a measuring thing built in and one if for a 26 to one.
That should be just about right then...Where is your needle valve postioned???
That would roughly put your mix ratio about 22:1, with the 26:1 ratio, give or take a tiny bit. A bit heavy, but not unreasonably so.
When it bogs, is it during acceleration or steady throttle?
And what is your elevation above sea level???

It bogs at steady throttle and when I get on the throttle a little bit stops
I never moved the needle position, so I'm guessing center
About 2200 feet
Never guess, I had one of my carbs delivered where the C clip was at the very bottom of the needle valve position making it full on rich.
