30 shot....hahahaha. This bike is obviously a hill climber? If so Id run 50:1 with 110 octane. Don't much matter for short runs. If its just an everyday ridable bike then use a 32:1 and pack a spare engine with you :rolling:

Break the motor in with what ever you have it jetted for running a motor with a richer oiler mixture for break in actually leans out the air fuel mixture
i ran opti 2 for years at 60-1 (mixed as per opti squeeze bottle) in 2 stroke 250 never had a problem but I ws also not running nitrous

The big 4 always recommend 32:1. In
My KTM book it recommends 60:1 but I go 45:1. Run it rich as long as your not fouling plugs, atleast you won't lock it up with lots of oil.

You building this beast for a hill climber or for the dunes cause a 500 in the dunes is a lot of fun a 500 in the dunes with nos would be awesome

i've ran seveal CR500's and run BelRay MC1 at 40:1. Seen alot of cracked pistions when running same oil at 50:1, but none at 40:1. If anything I would run a little richer when huffing the bottle!! It makes stuff run hot!! And depending how much you shaved your head, I would make sure you run good fuel.

haha posts like this make me laugh. No offense to the original poster, but if your running a 500 2 stroke with a shaved head and nitrous, something like oil:gas mix is something you should probably know. The shaved head/nitrous mix means you NEED race fuel. 110/111 octane straight! Any idea what your compression ratio is? The nitrous doesn't mean much when it comes to oil mixture, as I imagine you won't be on the button for too long. I would run 40:1 with a good high quality oil. You know you have to break in with Mineral oil, right? Then can switch to a synthetic or blend oil after the first ride.

I'm thinking on doing a nitrous build and had a few questions you ran nitrous with a shaved head what was your compression ratio? But you switched back to stock head was it cause of dentionation problems? What was max shot you ever used on it, did you run into engine problems at all?
