WHAT TYPE AND RATIO ARE YOU RUNNING AND WHAT TYPE OF BIKE. I WAS LOOKING AT RUNING THE MC-1 FULLY SYNTHETIC IN BOTH MY NEW 98 CR250R AND THE OLD 78 CR250R AT 50:1 WHAT DOES EVERY ONE THINK ABOUT THAT.

I have run Bel-Ray MC-1 at 50:1 in my Honda CR250R 1979 for the last 3 years.

You might consider running VP C-12 mixed 50/50 with 91 octane pump gas.

Old or new, you run a high-quality synthetic oil at the ratio recommended by the (oil) manufacturer. This is normally in the range of 32:1 - 40:1. Bel Ray was and is specifically designed to run at higher ratios.
