KRMit Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I ran it for a couple years and had no complaints with it other than the cost. It smells awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris642 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 the previous owner of my banshee was running bel ray H1R and its what im currently running, could i switch over to Castor 927? also, the bottle says run it 40:1 but the guy told me to run 32:1. he said it was rich but would keep the engine lubricated best, but it smokes alot so my neighbors complain. I dont really care about getting top performance as long as my engine is being well lubricated. should i just go 40:1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotulMonsta Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 I'm not a big fan of castor 927. I couldn't get my bike to run right on it, it's a bit expensive and it seperates from the fuel too fast. It does smell good though...A little thin for my liking too. I still have a bottle around here somewheres..it's like 4 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ondeeeznuts Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 if you want to switch to Castor, you need to totally get all the other fuel out of your system, get it totally dry, clean the carb bowls, then you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 it's a bit expensive and it seperates from the fuel too fast. I run Castor and like it. Only thing, it does tend to seperate pretty easy, especially when the weather turns cold. Be sure to shake the machine a little when it's been sitting.

white trash Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 a bit off topic but.... why is it so important to empty the tank / system before switching oils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey390 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Some oils wont mix well together, sort of like mixing water and oil, instead of mixing up and working together, they will seperate causing actual loss of lubrication. If you worry enough to wonder which oil to use, or what ratio, then you should not hesitate to do the full cleanout prior to switching.
