What oil you guys running in your R's ?

[wickedgmc]

My R is supposed to arrive friday, im not sure if it has any fuel in it. Im just wondering what you guys run for oil or what you guys believe is the better oils

I was thinking about sticking to more of the name brand oils like.
Amsoil
Klotz
Belray
Royal Purple


My R is slighty modded with a PT pipe and silencer and rad valves. Im not sure what is meant by bottom end oil ? Im also not sure where else oil goes on these things. Ive never owned a 2 stroke and have no idea about anything when it comes to 250r's. Is there transmission oil ? Do you use the same exact oil in all areas ?

since we've been in the whole 2 stroke faze, we've always had good luck with klotz r50 and benol. I run 40:1 klotz in my 250r

I'm a recent convert to synthetic oil and definitely recommend it. I use Amsoil 50:1 in my TRX and my brother's Blaster. I have Mobile1 10w30 synthetic in the gearbox right now, but I'm working on getting a more motorcycle gearbox oriented oil for that.

Welcome, and glad to hear about your recent purchase. You won't be disappointed.

As far as the 2 stroke oil goes, as you can tell, everyone has their own personal favorite/recommendation. Regardless, make sure you use a quality synthetic. I personally run Amsoil Dominator mixed at 40:1. If you don't understand mixing ratios, I'd highly recommend picking up a Ratio-Rite measuring cup.

You will also get varying responses regarding the tranny oil as well. Once again, make sure you use a quality oil. I personally use Pro-Honda HP Trans Oil, and am very happy with it. You expressed that you don't know where the oil goes in, so I'll give you a little run through about the tranny oil.

When changing the oil there is obviously a drain plug on the bottom of the engine, remove it and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug. There will be a phillips/10mm bolt on the clutch cover that is labeled, "Oil Check." Remove it. Add your oil of choice until some starts to come out of the oil check hole, which is when you know that it is full. Replace the oil check bolt. I forgot exactly how much oil it takes, but it is a little over 1/2 of a quart.

Hope this helps.

I run klotz r 50 its some good stuff !!! 32:1 i will stand by it to the max !!!
as far as the tranny i run gearsaver 80 weight nice and smooth shifting good protection !!! but its like ya draws its up too ya !!! good buy on the r you will not be dissapointed !!!

as far as mixes it all verys per bike in my opionion start at a richer mix say 32:1 witch is 4 ounces of oil to 1 gallon of gas then see how your bike runs if you foul a plug out then lean it up a bit say 40:1 then see what happens its all about getting used to your bike and knowing what it likes and dosnt i would say to start get you a few plugs and do some testing happy shredding !!! dont forget the helmet !! and like bushwesl said get a ratio rite mesuring cup and achart to make sure your mixing your oil rite that is till you get used to it
