Oil Pre-mix suggestions

[heberlf]

I have a GP-1200R (2002) which is basically stock with a few bolt on mods, such as Island Racing carbon reed kit, Riva free-flow exhaust, and Riva stack filters on the carbs.
I am running 36 to 1 premix using Maxima Castor 927. The plugs are NGK BR7ES. It loads up when doing much idling or low speed running.

The question is, Can I lean out the oil mix a little to 40 to 1 with this oil, and still be safe on the high rpm running?????

Yes.
I have a long list of mods on mine and have always ran 40:1 with no problems.

yes 40:1

and thats too hot of a plug, recommend using the BR8ES or BR8ES-11 gapped to .044

I like how it smells

ditto on all the above 40:1

I will move the mix to 40 to 1 and try the plug reccomendation also.
This bike is awsome on top end but is a little slow out of the hole. I could also use some suggestions on what brand of water box mods to help the hole shot.

I am in southeast Texas, so I am close enough to WFO to take advantages of a little help of their services. I have heard many good things about your operation.

Thanks again for all the replys.
