Nighty Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I'm using castrol TTS i dont think you guys have that over there in U.S. its a bit pricy but this oil just plain ROX mixes great with the fuel, never have problems with starting i'm mixing 32:1 but i'm sure i can mix 40:1 without any problems.

nater006 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Quad came with 4 qts of Yamalube 2-R. Seems to be good oil. Mixing at 32:1. Picked up a gallon of Amsoil and am going to try the 50:1 with synthetic. Haven't heard a single negative thing about them. Used to be a huge Klotz fan back in my CR500 days..

bronco91shee Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 castrol M927 50:1 with 110 octane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Dumb question.... Is this stuff OK to use? Despite the "Injector oil" it also says "suitable for pre-mix applications at 50:1" on the back panel. It isn't the 2000 series oil or anything but... I'm assuming this stuff is fine to use also? (50:1) Oh yeah... Just found this post (after posting the above, of course..haha) http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...pic=21125&st=15 Hope it doesn't go kerboom. Maybe will mix it at 42:1 or something instead..hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 The Owners manual recommends Yamalube R 24:1. Everyone else says 32:1. Whats do you run? The manual is BS, way overly conservative. 32:1 is fine on the yama 2R. Maxima - Castor 927 at 40:1 for me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run Castor 927 at 32:1. I usually just get the smaller bottles and pour one bottle in with 4 gallons of gas. How many gallons could I safely get away with mixing one bottle with?

How many gallons could I safely get away with mixing one bottle with? 1 Gal = 128 OZ mix 32:1 using 4 galons X 4 gal = 512 OZ / 32 = 16oz = 1 small bottle of castor 927 mix 40:1 using 5 galons X 5 gal = 640 OZ / 40 = 16 oz = 1 small bottle of castor 927 If you have a 4 gallon container and want to go 40:1 then mix 40:1 using 4 galons X 4 gal = 512 / 40 = 12.8 Oz = 1 small bottle of 927 with some left in it.

Thanks for breaking that down for me. I failed Chemistry. Another question... when pouring a bottle of oil in the gas can, the bottle never completely empties which leaves just a little oil in the bottle. Is that amount insignificant enough I can still use 5 gallons of gas and be at 40:1, or would that be more like 41:1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheechandchong Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 if your that concerned about that, just pour a small amount of gas back in to the bottle, give it a swirl and pour it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I do. You don't have to get the ratio absolutly perfect though, its like a hand gurnade, get it real close and it works just fine!
