My main mix oil I was using is getting VERY hard to get local.. so going to change.. not worth the PITA it is to get it.
Anyone play with MOtul 800 ?
(also how does it smell? haha Yea I know... but thats the reason I dont run KLOTZ... cant stand to be around the bike)

bad smell? I love the way all 2 stroke oil smells but I don't think I would be to fond of a French fry smelling bike

I had always had great luck with Belray MC1 in straight 100LL avgas. I tried using 927 last year, and had no end of issues with it separating from the gas in my KX500, and then plugging the carb. I will be switching back to MC1. Luckily I seem to get by fine using the 927 in my RZ350 since it has oil injection. I am running 100/130 avgas in that bike.

I think Im going to take a good hard look at Motul 800.. really like it on paper. and should mix fine
Flashpoint same (actually a bit higher) than Castor 927. so that is good for me (WOT dunes/desert guys)
Main reason I stay away from alot of oils... they have flashpoints lower than the CHT's these bikes run at :-o
I still run castor 927 in my bikes I dont run ALOT of avgas through.. as I SWEAR by castor 927... but as you know snoop.. it falls out in heavy mix's of 100LL :cry:
