Title: kx 500 2 cycle il of choice
Post by: texas5 on April 21, 2013, 12:58:56 PM

Well after waiting almost 5 months my KX 500 arrived. I am new to power value and have been running Motul in my Cr 500 with good luck, but is it OK to use in a power valbe engine? Engine is a fresh rebuild and I have just started to switch to synthetic any recommendations will be greatly appreciated

I'm not familiar with the Motul...I do know that Kawasaki used to use it in the 80's-90's Supercross bikes....here's a thread that might help give you an idea what everyone uses/likes.
