Recently had my top end done on my 83r to .080 over. Just need to know what fuel mixture I should use, and proper break in procedure? Normal fuel mixture is 32:1. I was told to use a 40:1 mixture by one person and another told me to use 24:1. Just looking for a second opinion.

Thanks for the advise Tri-z, just wanted to make sure I do it right because the next time I have to take her in she will need a new sleeve. Just wish I would have known the guy swamped it before he sold it to me.

damn liars, I guess the best thing to do if you swamp a trike is to sell it right away instead of taking it apart and removing the sand off of the top of the piston and getting the water out of the bottom end. Now I dont feel so bad about giving him 150$ less than he was asking for it.
