What 2-Stroke oil do you use?
ebers17:
I used Golden Spectro 50:1 the first year I had my 500, then after running Maxima 927 in my 250 I carried it over and am using the Maxima 927 32:1 in my 500 now. I actually think my bike is running cleaner with the Maxima stuff. I love the smell of the 927 too, but it doesn't compare to the I-pone S2 I used in my 250 for a little while that smelled like strawberries!!! :-D :-D
mazstro:
i run amsoil dominator at 50:1 and it seems great every time i have the pipe off (every ride due to pipe mounts broken) i look at the piston and cyl. and they always have looked super clean.

I use maxima synthetic @ 44:1. I know 50:1 would be better but I am a wuss and do need the tiny power gain that would result. Besides who doesnt like the smell of premix in the morning?
maddoggy:
i run bel-ray mc-1 @ 50:1 with the best fuel i can get my hands on (premium). i'd hate to run much more oil than that for fear of gunking up the power valve. anyone ever tried aviation fuel in their k5? i've wondered about it but the heat may be too high, not sure though. stewart, cam, you guys ever tried it? thanks, MADDOGGY
stewart:
i don t run av gas because it s formulated for high altitude at a fix throttle setting has diffrent additives than the two stroke works best with try track tech line or vp line of fuels both great quilty
