had a chance to search. That R50 looks good! If it smells good, I'll give it a try. I do like a little 2 smoke though, so I might try Klotz Super also, but R50 first.

I don't get my panties all up in a bunch when I read the "oil wars" . I won't notice a crap bit of difference between Klotz R50 and 927... i'm sure they are both excellent quality oils. The only reason I plug Klotz R50 is that i've been using it for the past 18 years mixed at 42:1, and had ZERO engine issues. I raced a '97 KX250 for 2 years running Klotz R50, and when I finally pulled apart the top end, I was amazed at how well the piston and powervalves looked. They almost looked brand new. So it's Klotz R50 for me 8-)

anyone have a suggestion what to use with methanol? at what ratio?

Oh sweet! Sorry for posting so much :mrgreen:, but...
I wonder if R50 would mix with the Amsoil Saber, not that it needs it, just wondering. Run Saber at 100:1 then finish up to a total of 40:1 with R50 for the smell. I ran straight Saber for a while on trail rides and would make the guys behind me sick after just a short while, several occasions. I'm going to try that R50 next for sure.
On the subject of avgas, I can't get VP fuel within 120 miles of me but I can get avgas. Some octane is better than none right?
Another thing- some oils separate from the fuel after a short while. Does anyone have insight (facts- not just "well, my dad says") on this as to how long to keep mixed fuel, and what oils separate and which ones don't, etc.? Klotz R50 says it stays in suspension. Is this what Klotz is talking about? Is it still safe for my bike, weedeaters, etc., after a few weeks/months? I think that would be good info for this thread.

I have insite... Been running oil tests for about 3 years now.. Mixing, suspension etc...
