      ​@@Dirtbikerepairif you mix a large quantity , does the mix stay perfect in the container forever or is there a time limit before it should be used ?

      @lynxeffect84 that really depends on the container, the temperature, all kinds of things.. the quality of oil, the quantity of the fuel.. but it all has a shelf life.. but I typically will mix 20L or 5gal at a time.. so that last me about 2-3 weeks.. I also store it in metal containers rather then plastic

    40:1 Yamalube synthetic has always treated me right for stock compression motors. Unfortunately here in Arizona we only have 91 pump available so anything with even slightly higher than stock compression I shoot up to a small airport a couple miles from me and mix 100LL Avgas and half pump to bump octane to about 96 and it's affordable. Av right now is about $6 a gal.

      I have mixed Avgas with high test here before.. best fuel we can get at a pump here in Ontario Canada is 94. And Avgas is running around $3.00/L (about 5L/G) so it’s definitely more affordable then running race fuel at $10/L Yammalube is really good oil.. I think the important part is running the best fuel oil mix you can afford.
      Thanks for the comment and for watching as always

    Can you use pre mix on a cr 85rb expert

      It said small engines but idk if it meant mowers or dirt bikes too

    • @Dirtbikerepair
      @Dirtbikerepair  Місяць тому

      Yes, it’s a 2 stroke. 2 stroke engines need to mix oil with the fuel to lubracate parts in the engine. ( the crank and crank bearings for example.) if you don’t mix your fuel with oil you will damage the engine. What people call “blowing up the engine”
      I hope that helps answers your question. A 4 stroke engine is a bit different and you do not need to mix oil with the fuel.. the engine has different parts that are lubricated internally

      Oh ok, I misunderstand your question. Yes you can run race fuel in your 85, if you were to actually look at the Honda specs for that bike I’m pretty sure it actually asked you to run over 97 octane and No ethonal

    How many ounces or Canada units for 5 gallon of fuel?

    • @Dirtbikerepair
      @Dirtbikerepair  4 місяці тому +1

      That would depend on what you are mixing at for example 5 gallon but for easy math I’m going to use 20L mixed at 40:1 = 20L of fuel 500ml of oil
      32:1 = 16L of fuel 500ml of oil
      That’s really what you can mix in a 5g fuel can

    So, where's the ride video? This build is not complete and anticlimactic until we see the bike ripping!

      Still waiting on a few parts to finally come in for Project 93, then we will do a start up video so we can all see it run for the first time together. We will definitely be putting out a video of all the things we went through in this build along with a bunch of footage of the bike hopefully ripping up the trails and track.
