..how would it run? with reeds??

I also thought premix was a big no no with these motors, so many questions!

You can run Suzuki's on premix, but to do so you must remove the oil guides from the crankshaft to allow premix to lube main bearings.
I am not sure if the reliability of the main bearings is compromised when this is done.

I’d also be concerned. Needs for a racing motor & a street motor are very different. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any writeup/comments about a premix Suzuki crank lasting 10k miles or more.
