What 2-Stroke oil do you use?
Motorrad:
been running motul 800 (offroad) at 50:1 for some time now. and very hapy with it. (have torn down motors to inspect oil left behind etc... and it looks good)
motopunk:
in the last 15 years I am only used motul 800 in all my bikes, since I canīt get no longer the 2t oils of SHELL.
I also tested the products of bel ray, castrol, motorex and ELF, but motul 800 makes for me the best performance at 40:1., it burns very clean.the piston always looks like new when I replace it after 40 operating hours. there is also no thick oil-coal deposit in the exhaust pipe, like some cheaper oils do.
the smell from the exhaust does not interest me. that's always behind me when riding ... :evil: :lol:
GTiR1080:
I run the redline 2 stroke race oil in all the 2 strokes i have. In the dirt karts, largescale RC's and the dirtbikes.
Have run it for years and the guy that builds our kart engines is always amazed at how clean my engines are.
don46:
I run Redline as well, in fact I use all their fluids, suspension, gearsaver, water wetter, and the 2 stroke oil. Tom Morgan built me a Rocket ship 125 and he reccommended Redline, been using it ever since. I would not be opposed to running soimething else in everything built the tranny, that stuff is the bomb.

Just out of interest, what redline gear oil do you run in yours don46? I just changed the gear oil in mine over to redline lightweight shockproof in my 500.
