What oil you guys running in your R's ?

[wickedgmc]

Great Info guys thanks. I just got dont tracking the bike and the planned delivery date is now the 4th of next month we'll see what happens friday if it comes or not. The owner of the quad is also sending me a spec chart or what he used as far as oil and mixing goes.

So i take it most of your guys like running synthectics ?

If the R is coming from a different elevation/climate, you're definitely going to want to check the jetting and make sure it's ok.

And yes, synthetics all the way.

It is coming from California to Minnesota so jetting may be a factor. How do you guys usually go baout mixing your oil. Put it all in a gas can and swish it around alittle or dump it right in the tank ? Like I say ive never owned a 2 stroke before.

As far as oil i think im going to with the bel ray gearsaver i think. Or klotz 2 stroke oil. My buddy has some honda oil that he mixes in on his cr85 ?

I usually take an empty 5 gallon gas tank, add the appropriate amount of 2-stroke oil (Amsoil Dominator), and then fill the tank. This way as the gas is being added it is mixing it also. Then I cap it off and shake it up real good.

You're kind of scaring me... I don't really understand your second comment, but you need two different types of oils, one for the tranny/bottom end and then another as the pre-mix/2-stroke oil. The Bel-Ray Gear Saver will be fine for the tranny/bottom end and then the Klotz will be fine for the pre-mix/2-stroke oil.

I see what your saying. Take an empty five gallon can pour 20 ounces of klotz or amsoil in and then fill the rest with premium. Do you recommend oxygenated or non onxygenated. I am also thinking about picking about 5 gallons of 110 from my local air strip. Or would 110 be hard on the motor say if i mixed it 50/50 or 75 91/25 110.

And last how often should me tranny oil be changed ? Is that all their is too it ? I know how high performance 2 strokes can be if miscared for. I want to make sure i get this right.

BEL RAY IS GEAR OIL! DONT MIX THAT WITH YOUR GAS. Try klotz racing oil or superM. make sure it says 2 cycle.

I will try and get some better pics this weekend. I figure id run to my garage and snap a few for anyway. Sorry for the crappy pics. But you can get an idea of what i have.

[superevil]

WOW thats an awesome bike man,very nice.
They way i mix my two stroke oil and gas is easy. I just do 3 onces per gallon of klotz super techniplate. SO If i buy one quart from klotz,it will be good for ten gallons. So i just pour half a quart in the five gallon can,easy to measur. 3 ounces a gallon ends up being somewhere around 40:1.

[wickedgmc]

Awesome man. I think im going to be mixing mine up 40:1 as well. I was leaning towards Amsoil Interceptor because I cna get it locally. But I talked to the previous owner last night and he saud he used Maxima Super M. And it is quite a bit cheaper then the Amsoil.

[wickedgmc]

I take that last statement back I thought there was 64oz to 1 gallon. However there is 128oz to 1 gallon. I will end up useing the interceptor after all.

Now the interceptor is saying use a 50:1 ratio
