Nice! Looks like you solved your smoking issue. 25:1 or did you go thinner?

Just curious, are you running it wide open in the video or holding back a bit. I would expect it to top out at a higher rpm based on your previous video.

Great to see another Arctic running rather than being parted out.

I mixed at 32-1 with yamalube 2r. Bike was about 3/4 throttle in video, I did run it wide open the other day. Top out about 35mph

25:1, just sayin', better a little smoke than sorry imo. Ramrod cylinders, pistons and rings are too rare to chance it. A little smoke means it's lubed, none means you're taking a chance.
