It's been a while since I had a dirtbike but it was always 3 ounces of 2 cycle oil per gallon of gas. It was never anything different and I had a number of different dirtbikes including a YZ. See? that guy above me says the same thing. 3 to 1 means 3 ounces of oil to 1 gallon of gas.

The ratio you want to run is 32:1. This is NOT rocket science, a little math is all it takes. There are 128 ounces in a gallon, so you take the desired ratio and divide it into 128. 32 goes into 128 4 times, that 4 is how many ounces of oil you need per gallon of gas. So, if you buy a 16 ounce bottle of premix oil you need 4 gallons of gas to mix it at 32:1. That bike has a power valve so I would use a synthetic oil so you don't have to worry about gumming it up, and a motocycle specific oil at that.

32:1 is the 'standard' answer, and usually what is recommended by the manufacture. BUT...
I use a pure synthetic oil and ride in the woods doing H/S, enduros and trail riding. Synthetics are designed to protect at leaner ratios and riding in the woods means that I'm not operating in the higher rpm ranges of the engine. That being said I've been mixing my fuel at 50:1 for years and with a jetting change could go as lean as 66:1 easily enough.
It all depends upon the type of oil, type of use, and the specific jetting of the bike.

i could look at a cyclo-flow bike. in all probability slightly greater costly than a hybrid, besides the fact which you're sure to apply the bike greater because of the fact it is going to likely be plenty greater powerful high quality, lighter and basically greater relaxing to apply. the suited tube on a "flow" bike is slightly shorter than a highway bike and a super variety of have a suicide brake on the flat part of the safeguard bars. The tire can continuously get replaced out and replaced with a development which would be greater conducive on your particular driving. I also have a highway, mountain and cyclocross bike.

Jason got it right - 32 to 1
3 parts gas to 1 part oil is a little rich on the oil side.
Purchase a "ratio rite" cup. If you're using - 1 gal - 2 gal - 3 gal of gas, it gets complicated. No figuring needed.The measurements are listed on the side of the clear cup.

If your in Britain the gallons are bigger, 20fl.oz to pint, 8pints to gal, 160fl oz. so you need about 5 fl.oz. oil per gal.
dont put in extra for luck as it makes bike run lean (more oil, less gas, more heat, more chance to seize)

32:1, or 4 ozs. of oil for every gallon of gas.

32-1 but if racing go leaner if for fun you can try little richer piston will last longer
