Snowmobile oil for KX?
quincyman:
This is some good discussion and it is very interesting that we have a couple who have tried this snowmobile oil for years with no negative effect on their dirt bikes. If I ever forget to buy the HRC1 I won't feel bad using my snowmobile oil every now and then.
BigGreenMachine:
I know a lot of snowmobilers that run Amsoil in there sleds with zero problems. If its tough enough to withstand an F7 motor then it will put up with your 500 just fine.
I have two bottles of Interceptor left that I'll be running at 32:1 until I run out then I'm going with 927 or BeNol.

Incidently I wouldn't at this time of my life run yamalube in my weedeater, it's the worst crap out there

Why do you say that?
don46:
yamalube, builds more carbon than any oil I've used. It wouldn't be an issue in my race bikes as they are freshened up every couple of months. Look into the oil, you'll find that oil rated TC-WII is the best you can get, of course having said that I realize that there will be many responses stating why such and such oil is best, and frankly I would say most oil is good, it's a personal preference. I have ran redline oil in a highly modified 125 with very good success, but ultimately it wasn't any better than the Injex. Any oil will work, use what makes you feel comfortable.
