  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2premo i see what your saying, the minute differences between mixes isn't going to even be noticeable by me, as long as the bike runs fine theres not much to scratch my head at. as far as the gasoline used ( i live in the USA ) what octane do you guys use? pump gas the highest we can get is 97, but I'm sure i can find some race gas around somewhere.. with a 36:1 ratio, what kind octane gas are most of you running? thanks for all the help guys

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.
