Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
What 2-Stroke oil do you use?
gil2264:
I like my Golden spectro at 40:1. I've run it for years in my KDX, and now my K5...have yet to foul a plug on it.
2000desertkx500:
I run maxima Super-m at 40:1
I also run avgas and have since 2000 when i got my 500. Runs great and ZERO problems.
jigggawatt:
Klotz r50 at 32 to 1 . I share the gas with my boys yz85 and ktm65. I mix it at 32 to 1 for the small bikes. My 500 runs great. Stock needle second clip, 48 pilot and 165 main , pro circuit 296 sil. fmf pipe,reed spacer, 3800 feet . I could even get away with a 162 main . I like it a little rich. The 296 really changes what jet the bike wants.
OrangeDawg:
I'm running Klotz R50 at 42:1 (3oz/gal) and I love it. Smells different, burns super clean. No spooge at all, just a dry, light brown dust on the exhaust. Good stuff.
:mrgreen:

Me too. Running Klotz R50 and premium gasoline at 50:1. Good gas, good oil, and excellent air filter maintenance has kept the top end rebuilds on the 99 K5 to 0.
