First impressions..

Okay. It smells like ATF premix out the exhaust pipe too :|
It's probably just mercon V with fancy marketing and a HUGE price tag to match...
Kidding of course. :wink: (as I go to look up the flashpoint of mercon V :roll:)

I run Motul 800 in all my two strokes. Its expensive but I have had good luck with it. Buying online saves a decent amount too.

I run Motul 800 2t/Sunoco Cam2 44-1 in my K5, 05 YZ155, and my 82 RM125. I spoke with a technician at Maxima once about their products - he said that the 927 held peak power longer than K2, but would drop out of suspension in colder weather with some race fuel(depending on specific gravity). He also said that when Team Suzuki used Maxima, they ran K2 32-1. As previously mentioned by another poster, Eric ic Gorr told me the same thing - use a quality oil at the ratio they suggest...

I've put quite a few miles on my Ex Team Green KX500, and the compression still checks great and the piston looks good just from inspecting from the exhaust chamber and intake ports. When I grew up racing, me and just about everyone I knew in District 37 was using Golden Spectro at 40:1. I did a lot of two stroke rebuilding and we decided to go with Golden Spectro based on the engines we kept taking apart. I think any good name brand two-stroke dirt bike oil will due as long as you are mixing at the recommended ratio.

I ran bel-ray mc1 50:1 in all my 2-stroke engines until they came out with the h1r... I switched to h1r. Never had any issues with it in any of the bikes...H1R i ran 40:1 in the K5... I may run 32:1 in the 250 but i will have to fiddle with it a bit before I settle on anything...
