Motorrad, i'm curious why you run av gas in a MX engine ? All the information I have read over the years, states that running AV fuel is not advised on high rpm 2 stroke engine applications that see substantial variances in rpm's and load. If I have my facts wrong, by all means correct me..
Most of the guys running heavily modded 2 strokes like to run VP C12

Klotz benol is not the best choice for power valved engines. Benol was engineered for non-power valved engines. Castor based oils have superior shear resistance, but leave behind a substantial amount of "spooge" and tend to gunk up and sieze the valves. If you run Benol make sure you dissasemble and clean the valves periodically.
Good:
So R50 is different than Benol? I haven't searched.

Redline 40-1 with 100 unleaded. Sometimes 50% 91 oct. Gas is so bad out here everything wants to ping.
Did pick up a case and a half of Kawasaki two stroke oil for a buck a quart at a Big Lots store. Couldn't pass up the price. Just wonder who makes the oil for Kawasaki. Haven't tried it yet. Still got a gallon of redline.
