Yeah my bike is an ex-racer from Texas and it came setup for premix. I was a little hesitant about that at first but all the big RS250 shops in the U.S. seem to recommend that for a race bike. It does eliminate a few pounds and the possibility that there will be a failure in the oiling system (which I hear is pretty rare).

It's much less hassle than I expected. I have a gas jug dedicated to premix. I fill it with the proper amount of oil and fill it with gas before I get to the track. Since it's synthetic oil, there are no storage or seperation issues if I don't use all the premixed gas. In fact, I stored 4 gallons of premix gas over the winter (5-6 months) and used it my first time at Summmit; no problems.
