I am gonna pick up a 2007 yz 250 this weekend, i have a 18 250sx and i run that at 60:1, i know that isn’t gonna fly with that yamaha. What ratios are you guys running in that?
OK I'll bite. Why won't that "fly" with the Yamaha but will with KTM?

Probably because of jetting? But that’s easily changed.

Hp2 and Yamaha r2 is the exact same oil from the same supplier with a different dye.....just in case there is a shortage of Honda oil or which is cheaper at the moment. Just FYI.

I can't speak for the other guy but I'm much more likely to believe some random internet guys friend story than the description on the label. I guess I'm not as woke as some people haha

32:1 Klotz and 115 octane Base race fuel. Have to run high octane because Slipdog turned my YZ into a weird freaking monster.

Oh in that case. Sounds very legitimate.

Worked at a dealership a long time ago, but had an order of Honda oil come in on a truck, a Valvoline truck. Cases of Honda HP2 in the truck. Honda had dropped shipped our order. I ask the guy whats up with you guys having Honda oil, he's reply, "Because we produce it for them". He said they produce a lot of motorcycle oils.

40:1 on my 2007 YZ250. I must say that I am pretty slow. I rev the shit out of it before the gate drops, then after the first turn... eh, not so much. :-)
Sounds like my style. I can pull top 3 starts and then work my way back.

If you have shit gas, winter and summer blends you might want to mix some C12, maybe 25% to cut the clean air crap and ethanol. 32 or 40 to one will be fine. I use Maxima SuperM in my YZ465 and ran it in my 05 CR250. I don't think there's a lot of us that hammer our bikes hard enough to need really hi end oils.

Like my dad always told me, it's a lot easier to go backward than it is to work forwards!
