Do you run strait gas in a dirt bike?

It depends on the dirt bike. Some dirt bikes are designed to run on straight gas, while others require a mix of gas and oil. If you are not sure what type of fuel your dirt bike requires, you should consult the owner's manual.

Dirt bikes that require a mix of gas and oil

If your dirt bike requires a mix of gas and oil, you will need to purchase a special pre-mixed fuel or mix the gas and oil yourself. The ratio of gas to oil will vary depending on the make and model of your dirt bike. Again, you should consult the owner's manual for the correct ratio.

To mix gas and oil, you will need a measuring cup or graduated cylinder, a funnel, and a container for the mixed fuel.

1. Start by measuring the correct amount of gas and oil according to the ratio specified in the owner's manual.

2. Pour the oil into the container first, then add the gas.

3. Mix the gas and oil thoroughly by shaking the container or stirring with a stick.

Dirt bikes that run on straight gas

If your dirt bike is designed to run on straight gas, you can simply purchase unleaded gasoline from a gas station. However, you should check the octane rating of the gasoline before you fill up your tank. Most dirt bikes require gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher.

Tips for fueling your dirt bike

* Always use fresh gas. Old gas can cause problems with your dirt bike's engine.

* Avoid getting water in your gas tank. Water can damage your dirt bike's engine.

* Fill your gas tank only when necessary. Leaving gas in your tank for long periods of time can cause the gas to go bad.
