Tdaz250 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 What are peoples opinions/What oil do you guys like to use? When i bought my banshee, i got some fresh liquids too, the guy at the shop near me suggested gear saver for gearbox oil and some yamalube for gas mix. I also got some new spark plugs. I'm thinking i'd like to try amsoil next time I have to get oil. Just wondering everyones preference on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike607 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Amsoil 100:1 is what I used on my '99 when it was new and up and running.....its been torn down to the frame for a mega re-build for a few years now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boise_banshee Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 this has been asked million+ times...... but I run the castrol syn TTS 32:1 Minimal wear on internals & its cheap. Smokes out a entire city block on start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdaz250 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Sorry I didn't use the search. I'm surprised it's not a sticky in a newbie section or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 i believe its in the banshee toolbox sticky thread.. if we had a banshee NOOB section that would be really cool!! but then i dont think there would be many NEW posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorK Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 klotz all the way for mix and golden spectro for the cases. Ive always ran them for years with great success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Castor 927 mixed @ 32:1 but i run methanol, so its a little different for me. Castor 927 produces a lot of black goop through the entire exhaust system and in your cylinders. It smells good, but is pretty messy. You have to keep up on your end-of-ride cleaning or it will get nasty pretty quick. Its great with the methanol though. I can't stand the fruity smell of the klotz supertechniplate. I hate that shit.

I hate that shit. i ran klotz in a few 250Rs and now my shee over the past 8yrs with one melt down due to running 93 in a R motor with 110 octain compression(thanks to my friend). as long as my motor stays running Im happy. just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick2stroke Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I've used Amsoil Dominator at 50:1 for the past 8 years. Awesome stuff, minimal carbon build up, hardly any smoke, and incredible wear protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I love the smell of bean oil . The official BHQ oil? What ever the fuck you want at whatever ratio.

jayzx10r Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have to give thanks to Yamaha for providing me with the 2r I've run now for 270 gallons of premix without catastrophic failure while operating in the inhumane conditions Glamis offers. BTW: Jason's Vapor figured we get about 11MPG so that's near 3000 miles so far!! Yamalube 2r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstaten24 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've used castor before but like said earlier it leaves a lot of black stuff behind so now I use redline synthetic at 40:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
