JSHEE34756 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) I like running homelite weedwacker oil for air cooled engines running at a 75:1 ratio, Works great, Lots of sparks out the rear pipes, and no smoke. Operating temps running at a normal 240 degrees. On a serious note, I love Super techniplate 32:1, After 50 hours on new pistons they still look like they just came out of the box. And the smell is next to none. I heard the R50 smells the same but offers slightly less film strength. I can say one thing, The 350 is probably the most reliable 2 stroke atv engine ever built Edited July 24, 2010 by JSHEE34756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandking Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Same here Yamalube 2R for 15 years no problems and I run it in 2 banshees, a blaster, and a KTM 250sx. I just put a 4 mil in my 95 banshee and the stock crank looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandfrk33 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Been running 2R in the bike since 02, never even fouled 1 plug. When I built my 4 mil, top end was 4 years old and still had cross hatch marks. Everyone likes what they like. I love the smell of 927, but will never run castor oil. Seems to sticky. I'll stick to the yamalube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigborebanshee Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I use to run nothing but Yamalube 2R.My 01' had about 120 hrs on it,roughly 3 seasons.Pistons were worn past service limit,cylinders looked good,no galling. I put wisecos in it for the rebuild and ran it 3 seasons with lots of mods(high comp,timing,porting) and klotz supertechniplate.Piston to cylinder clearance was maybe .001 over what was installed and I beat that motor to death.I re0ringed her and ran ist another 2 years. Yamalube is a great oil,but klotz is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Incorrect jetting, wrong spark plug or oil mixed at 10:1 will foul plugs. Otherwise, it's never the type of oil you're using...unless it's not 2 stroke premix oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash&burn Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 got rid of my yama lube... kept gummin up my slides in my carbs and causin them stick open... switched too AMS Dominator synthentic oil and haven't had a problem yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzx10r Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) When I was a 7 y/o kid, my dad had me use Pennzoil 30w straight weight oil for premix. Always wondered why pistons didn't last all that long... Edited August 21, 2010 by jayzx750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have always ran Honda's HP2 at approximately 40 : 1 with either premium pump or AvGas when riding at Silver Lake and never had a problem. Ran that motor for like 5 yrs without a teardown, never smoked, always started first kick. Edited August 21, 2010 by RZBansheeMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only happend when the bike was parked in high humidity storage (basement). It would have a purple goo on the slides that looked like yamalube and lithium grease. Sounds off the wall but it happends.

2 Stroke Screamer Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Castrol Power RS TTS 2 stroke oil I'm assuming. I gave it a try but I just like the Klotz R50 and really didn't care for the Castrol. Fowled a few plugs.Others have given the Castrol good reviews though. Castrol tts synthetic fucking awesome never fouled a plug yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
