That sucks Motoman i was wanting to see your quad in action.

I was eager to see his bike too but after a couple practice runs I could tell something was up with either his clutch or tranny mainly because he wasn't even staying close to me on my dads kfx. Haha didn't have to go far to have my ass... wait wait wait that didn't work out! Lol

The 4 snow tires were decent we had them mounted in direction with the rotation arrows which I later learned isn't how you're supposed to mount them. I could tell a difference in my dads bike vs his hole shots I normally run. And the tires were expanding and rubbing on his heal guard/nerf bars.

Well, you did see it haha. Didn't see it move too well lol. Your Zilla isn't back together yet so that doesn't count hahaha.

I still think you beat that 450.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #228 on:** June 17, 2013, 10:03:56 am »

Yeah I thought I got him too. The re run I started in the wrong gear and still almost ran him down.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #229 on:** June 17, 2013, 10:09:26 am »

And I'll concede that definitely doesn't count plenty of more races to run your bike against mine in the months to come.

Bracket I received from Dez. Gonna hit it with polish and put a shine to it. Dez is such a good dude he wouldn't let me pay him anything for this no matter how much I insisted. Thanks again Dez good to know quality people still exist in this world.

Gonna be running Sunoco supreme 112 octane. Running type f tranny fluid in the gears and tranny. Thinking either 927 or AmsOil for 2 stroke oil. Probably gonna 50/50 or 75/25 race gas to 93 pump gas to help keep the 2 stroke oil blended in the fuel and save some money.

Dangerouspower · « **Reply #232 on:** June 18, 2013, 04:26:56 pm »

Amsoil Dominator and castor 927 both great stuff ! But 927 is a good bit more expensive and it was actually too thick for my likings so I would go with Amsoil if I were you.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #233 on:** June 18, 2013, 05:04:29 pm »

927 separates in gas with a specific gravity lower than .730 and the Sunoco I'll be running is .713 specific gravity I guess the 93 mixed in would make it have a higher specific gravity and stay mixed.

Dangerouspower · « **Reply #234 on:** June 18, 2013, 05:19:23 pm »

..... Amsoil it is !! lol

LT250RWV · « **Reply #235 on:** June 18, 2013, 10:47:55 pm »

Buckeye you only have to put 1 quart jar of gas in 5 gallons of racefuel with the 927 to keep it mixed. I thought you only had to worry about it when its cold. I ride around 3,700 feet above sea level and never had any problems with the castor.Mix you up a gallon pour enough in a quart jar and let it sit for awhile and see how well it stay mixed. But dont mess with the jar to shake it back up. Just to test to see how it does. But you would have to worry about it in the winter. But i havent had any problems or you can use Maxxis hi test octange booster with castor to keep it mixed. I would findout you octange level need for you motor after it finshed. You dont want to burn a hole in the new piston from not having enough octange in your Zilla.

According to Maxima's website it's an issue with any fuel with a specific gravity lower than .730. I'll likely just use AmsOil dominator their site doesn't say anything about fuel specific gravity or separation at certain temperatures. And I mixing the 93 pump gas in to save a little cash especially since I'll be going with a 112 octane rating race fuel.

It really does not matter what we think about the thickness of the oil. What does your engine think about the thinner oil???

Jerry what's your opinion if I'm running Sunoco 112 and 927 is adding the 93 gonna keep it mixed especially if you factor in I'll be running most of the time above 80 degrees.

Motoman991 · « **Reply #239 on:** June 19, 2013, 10:35:04 am »

All this talk of race fuel is making my wallet hurt lol. Straight pump gas for the win.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #240 on:** June 19, 2013, 10:45:04 am »

I'm a spoiled **** my dad will buy my fuel when I need it.

El Diablo · « **Reply #241 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:42:53 pm »

If you only mix up what you can use in a trip, then you can get away with not needing the pump gas, especially in 80 degree temps.

Gillio · « **Reply #242 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:52:48 pm »

I wouldn't mix anything with pump gas that contains Ethanol. I don't know about your area but around here ethanol can vary from 10% up to 20% depending on where you pump it from That makes your mix way too inconsistant. And hope you don't suffer and phase seperation

Zilla273 · « **Reply #243 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:08:19 pm »

ive been mixing 2gal of Sunoco 110 with 2gal of 91 ethanol free pump gas

, aimsoil dominator

Zilla273 · « **Reply #244 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:12:24 pm »

that's in my 250 I should've mentioned.. my 500 I run straight 110 with aimsoil

Cunningham_821 · « **Reply #245 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:21:30 pm »

Id rather run my gas straight then run amsoil!

927 or r-50 for me i mix 5 gallons at a time never seperates. i run vp110/c-12 mix tho.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #246 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:34:08 pm »

Yeah that's the thing 927 will separate in the Sunoco 112 that's available locally to me.

El Diablo · « **Reply #247 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:37:34 pm »

Not in your gas tank if you are riding....

LT250RWV · « **Reply #248 on:** June 19, 2013, 02:54:48 pm »

Like Ell Diablo said.

Dangerouspower · « **Reply #249 on:** June 19, 2013, 03:06:52 pm »

Jerry to answer your question my engines run much better with the amsoil dominator (thinner) than the 927 which I think is due to us not constantly running WFO all the time cause were in the woods and hills. They don't load up is what im tryin to say.
