Tom Morgan built me a Rocket ship 125 and he reccommended Redline, been using it ever since. I would not be opposed to running soimething else in everything built the tranny, that stuff is the bomb.

Just out of interest, what redline gear oil do you run in yours don46? I just changed the gear oil in mine over to redline lightweight shockproof in my 500.

I use the superlight, it is yellow, and man does that stuff stick to everything. is the lightweight blue? is so I've used it as well

no one running klotz super techniplate in here? heard that was super popular and good stuff. was going to give it a try on my new bike.

I actually tried the Klotz Super Techniplate, the one for Power valve engines. The shop I work for has many turbo charged 2 stroke snowmobiles and that is what they swear by. They have no problems running it mixed with 100LL Aviation gas (even though I have read many bad things about doing that), however I used it with strictly 93 pump. The smell was super sweet and I ran it at a conservative 32:1 on both my KX500 and my son's KX60 with nothing but good luck.
I have since switched to Castor 927 because I can get it much cheaper. I will probably end up going to Motul 800 after I switch to race gas though.

Yeh the lightweight is the blue one. Have got the super lightweight one here as well. we used them in the R6 engines in our formula 500's.

I use klotz techniplate tc-w2 in my 500 and 125. Also in all my other bikes over the years. Never had a problem. Mix 40:1. Gonna switch to motul 800 offroad after hearing all the great stuff. Always loved the smell of klotz though.
