If I decide to mix 100:1 in addition to the Injection as insurance, what changes need to be made to the Carbs ?

2004 RMK 800

I guess the other question is what ratio is best for this 100:1 200:1 ?

Thanks

I always mix a little oil in the fuel of my girlfriends sled just for extra ins. although i don't measure how much ! just add until you start fouling plugs.
I haven't made any changes to the carbs.

Ditto.

I always do this on the first ride of the day and especially first of the season until I see the oil go down in the resevoir.

So it is fair to say nothing needs to be changed to run lower amounts of premix.

It seems like a good idea to keep things lubed, even for storage ?
