* Engine Type: The Blaster uses a two-stroke engine. Two-stroke engines require a mix of fuel and oil to lubricate the internal components.
* Oil Type: The recommended oil ratio can vary based on the type of oil you use.
* Operating Conditions: The ideal mix can also change depending on factors like weather, altitude, and how hard you are riding.
Where to Find the Correct Ratio:
1. Your Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source of information. It will specify the recommended oil ratio for your specific model.
2. Yamaha Website: You can often find technical specifications and manuals online.
3. Yamaha Dealer: Contact a Yamaha dealer. They can provide you with the most up-to-date information.
Important Notes:
* Don't Guess: Never use a ratio that is not specified for your engine. Using too little oil can lead to engine damage.
* Premix Fuel: Premix the fuel and oil in a separate container before filling your tank.
* High-Quality Oil: Use a high-quality two-stroke oil designed for your engine.
Always consult your owner's manual or a Yamaha dealer to ensure you are using the correct fuel-oil ratio for your 1988 Yamaha Blaster.
