just realized while filling up my 750 Pro, the gas fuel door on the inside says Premix- 60:1. i currently run 40:1 (91 octane gas and redline synthetic premix oil), am i mixing too much oil in my gas?
SX/SXi/SXi Pro Fuel Door says 60:1?

No, you should be fine. I run 40:1 with no issues. 60:1 seems like motor suicide, idk why it says that.

Because Kawaski sells skis, thats why it says that.

My buddy has over 500 hours on his SXR at 60:1 on cheap oil. I think it's fine, especially for a stock motor

Yeah your right i have "heard it" not actually witnessed it....Read group k site and c what they have to say about crank life on a sxr.
I have two friends with SXR's both have to be in the 500 hour range and they run 60:1 with amsoil. They are both piped with ignition, really can't beleive they have held up this long. I have run 50:1 amsoil/klotz since I built my motor 3 years ago with no issues, prob 300hrs. Just took my crank to be freshend up and my builder inspected and it tested perfect, so I'm running it again. Also have a friend who ran his RN on quicksilver this summer at 50:1, crank seized about a month ago. I took a look at it, literally looked like he was running no oil, scary!
Ya and that motor's a beast! I think the key is good oil! I was running Dominator but it there was only one place that sells it in town. Great oil!

Ive been running quicksilver synthetic from walmart at 50:1 for the last few weeks, smokes less and seems fine so far. time will tell
I was running it in my X-2 for about a month till I saw the inside of that 701, its sitting on the shelf now with R-50 in the tank! Randy at Watcon told me if your going to run cheap oil every time you fill up put $5 in a jar! I beleive it now!

The Kawis recommend the 60:1 to meet EPA regulations. I ran mine there while it was stock. Now that I have more goodies, I run at 44:1. I have over 200 hours on my crank at no issues at all.
