Oil in my exhaust

[WmPenn]

i am new at this, so don't know if I'm posting this at the right place.

So I bought myself a 2005 Banshee about a month ago, and The dealer recommended I run a ratio of 20:1, so i did but it smoked alot so I switched to 25:1 and I ran great. Then I took it down to sea level and there it ran great too, but when I brought it back to the inland where i stay I noticed that it was leaking alot of oil, and now when I start it it smokes like mad and it has no power. Its like its not getting enough air or something and its exhaust is full of black oil after every ride?

Any advice of what I can do?Please help?

Thanx

Change up your mix and go 40:1, rejet if necessary and be done with it ..then drive by your dealership with a dozen eggs and let loose for telling you some dumb ass shit!

Dealerships are really good with giving out crap information. Too much oil to burn up in the compression chamber. So it spews out the pipes
20:1 ratio is 6.5 ounces of premix per gallon. That's alot of friggin oil & will foul the plugs.
Bring it down to 4 ounces [32:1] & get some new plugs. You will need to rejet if you change your pipes or air filter setup!

32:1 cant go wrong run some good senthetic oil like klots

Nothing wrong with 20:1, but...I think it's excessive.
In fact, bikes were dynoed and showed improvement in HP all the way to 16:1 as more oil was added.

That being said, 32:1 or 40:1 is just fine...and as said, rejet accordingly.

yea my dealer told me that the book said 20:1 i said screw that i run 40:1 amsoil interceptor....nothing wrong with 32:1 just to much oil for moi

32:1 Klotz Supertechniplate. Seems to be a good mix, hardly any smoke when warmed up and smells awesome when mixed with 110 octane.

Some dealers reccomend 24:1. 32:1 or 40:1 is good also. It is just a way of dealers getting around when coming upon tuning up your bike.

sounds like your plugs are fouled, change them with ngk br8es and get some readily available synthetic 2stroke oil and mix about 32:1 to 40:1 and that should take care of it. as for the oil running out i mix 43:1 and use castrol TTS and still get that a little. that oil is engineered for twins and is very good at high rpm (great shit) IMO

Yeah i agree with many i like 32:1 however in the banshee service manual it actually says 20:1 there freaken crazy but yet that manual came out in 87 and oils have come a really really really long way since then. Run synthetics up to 40:1 and your good
