2 stroke oil
« on: March 10, 2013, 02:00:19 pm »
What type of 2 stroke oil are you guys running in your bikes. I bought some motul 800 but have read that people seem to foul alot of plugs. Anyone else experienced this?

use Motel 800 on vmx bikes and modern 2 stroke because no foul plugs and clean rings and bores.

I was using motorex speedmix then tried repsol full synthetic but i have gone full circle back to motul 800 at 33 to 1. I buy it 4 lt at a time, I dont recall ever fouling a plug on any. But my mate putted around on my modern ktm and fouled the plug.  More to do with riding and carb mixture i reckon

Was watching my new " Bad Rock " dvd and the pensoil guy hands a rider 2 cans of oil and says "32/1 just like last time".
Dvd is about a race in 1972 .

Penrite Hi-Per (semi-synthetic) 40:1 (currently in air cooled trials bikes). Before that Castrol TTS (IT250 and WR200). Before that Castrol Super TT (in a multitude of bikes), before that Shell X100M (Castor oil)(IT175), before that Castrol Super Two stroke. Only time I ever fouled a plug was when going from Super to Unleaded in the 1980s and shards of carbon came loose and bridged the gap on a couple of bikes

Shell vsx 2 semi-synthetic oil  40-1
i've never had any problems using this oil even when i was road racing a 250cc Production bike in the mid 1990's. the only time's i've had plug issues that weren't caused by the wrong jetting are from using the wrong heat range for the conditions, or more recently a string of dud B8ES's  ::)
