    i use pump premium from Chevron, most of the guys i ride wit do the same a few mix race type fuel for peace of mind
    10 years and my 360 still pulls like a tractor
    if all things with your bike are right do as you will, so little difference i can't lose sleep
    at the price of the oil i feel better justified on my choice
    enjoy the ride!

    Sorry I said Lean, running more oil drops the octane down, with todays gasoline at the pump, it is becoming more noticeable. There has always been the rule of thought when someone said "Running Rich" in terms of two strokes that people thought too much oil. Running 'Fat" meant too much Jetting.

    Either way, running ratios 32:1 aren't need much today in modern bikes, and with the gasoline being not as good as in the past, I'd run less oil and find the highest octane you can get or afford. FYI, I used to run 40:1, but I no longer have any 2-strokes. I raced in the 80's at 50:1 Castrol, lot's of D37 and CRC Motorcross.

    Pump super, Amsoil 32-40:1 zero issues, several amazing first hand engine survival stories so I stick with it. I personally would never run less then 40:1 unless in a pinch to get the bike out of the woods or something. It lubes the crank, rod, piston, cylinder, powervalves, so I dont want to ever starve them. Also many dyno results I have seen gain power with more oil (top ring seals better / more lube on critical parts). Lots of very good oils out there so run what you believe in.
