I owned 2 stroke dirt bikes for years. The ratios have a lot to do with longevity as well as simply being manfacturers recommendation. Not uncommon to run 50:1 but we ran 20:1 when I was a kid. How lean the carb is jetted makes a difference too as lean runs way hotter. You will find recommendations all over the map for dirt bike ratios. There’s nothing fundamentally different in a sled motor, jet ski, dirt bike or chainsaw when running premix. The more oil generally the better protected your engine is.
