Winter maintenance
Timbowe:
I brought 2 cartons of Amsoil Intercepter 50:1 which I have been using up. The main Ams importer down here was looking like folding up. So I brought up the last supplies of this Intercepter which was all that was available at the time. Thankfully a new importer steeped in and took over the importation. Very important.
So I still have a few bottles to use up. Very clean burning, no spooge, next to no smoke, and crisp running at all revs.
I'll be going back to the 100:1 ratio after these last few bottles are finished up. The Saber Profesional series.

Hi guys, after re reading this thread and some other posts on oil and gas I decided to make a change in oil and gas! I looked all over town for amsoil saber 100 to no avail so I ordered it on line and I hope it will be here day! I am going to get rid of all of my old gas and start using satbil. Hope my wife's car likes my old gas mixed in with her gas! he he! :evil: I am going to run the amsoil a 80:1 still I just can't bring my self to run it 100!
Alan :-D

The local Yamaha dealer here for years raced RDs on Amsoil. He was the local agent for it and introduced it to me over 20 years ago. Ive never used any other other oil in my bikes cars and trucks. Two stroke, engine, diff or gearbox. Anyway his name is Whanye Hill. His nickname when he was racing was "Lean down Hill" cause he used to run his race bikes on Ams 100:1 at the ratio of 110:1. This was well over 20 years ago and had no negative effects. Great stuff Alan welcome aboard. I'm sure you'll never go back. :wink:

Alan,
You won't be dissapointed. I ran amsoil 100:1 in my road race bike and raced MX with Belray MC-1 at 85:1. My new yamaha outboard asks for 100:1 yamalube in the manual. Nowdays, everything I own (KX, kids bikes, chainsaw, weedwacker etc) live nicely on a diet of 60:1 MC-1. Lean is where it's at. Cam.

any of you guys have any experience with ipone?
alot of guys here run the honda synthentic or yamalube, they say it has better staying power on the metal. I dunno.
I used ipone all last season and never had a hitch.
Man I would be worried to death to run 100:1.
