2stroke oil
« on: March 17, 2006, 08:10:12 PM »
Hi,i've got a question.What kind of oil is kawasaki using because in the specifications they recommend 1/32 premix.I used motul 800(Belgium,whe have no amsoil)1/50 and they(dealer) told me that i have to use what kawa suggest,1/32 for the bearings.So now is the question,is it safe to ride on 1/50 premix?I used the bike 90% for road(supermotard).Question number 2,yesterday whe went for a ride,140km and a high tempo.Now i have a leak between the engine and the cylinder,all the bolds are tighten.Could it be that the engine become too hot and that the gasket is damaged?But it was a nice ride,1 2stroke between 4 4strokers.

Yes any synthetic reputable oil is cool. These days 32:1 is very a rich mix. Any good brand that states a ratio of of 50:1 or better would be recomended. Just follow the guide on the bottle.

I am going to amsoil saber 100 Professional and I am going to mix it at 80:1 and that is considered very fat!

does synthetic oil smoke as much as regular 2 stroke oil ? I know when I run mine bike at 32\1 with Maxima it smokes like crazy . I can't imagine running at 80\1 and wouldn't you worry about fouling plug's running that much oil ?

The higher the first number, the more gas compared to oil.   32:1 is very rich. More accustomed to a Villiers Lawn mower motor of the 1950s. :-D The new synthetic oils are designed to run at very lean ratios and still provide superior protection compared to mineral based 2 stoke lubes. Because of the strict anti pollution laws set by the U.S and other countries, the makers of these oils have perfected a very low emission content. As well as low "spooge" excreting from around the front exhaust port and thats just another bonus. Cost effective as well because you are mixing far leaner ratios, more than 2/3rds less, the bottle lasts heaps longer. Check it out. Worth it. :wink:

Can anyone in England recommend any of the oils we get over here for 50 or even 80:1 . What about Silkolene comp2 premix or the extra expensive pro2 ?

cheers for that one Alan . I like the sound of 100:1 premix but check out the price difference , a 1 quart bottle in the States $9 here $20 ! although in fairness its only the normal price of a very good 50:1 oil here.

Order,
  Silkolene is big in Canada. Lot of racers use it and swear by it.  I haven't tried it so have no direct experience. Cam.

Note that this is a KX500 thread. Different size machines requires different lubrication. Anyone with a 'small' engine size (or a high revving engine) should not follow these recomendations. Read up on recomendations for your particular engine size. Check out other forums for your own engine or use the manufactures recomendations.

I just like this smilie so  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I really did not like what I just wrote. Sounds very much like something a parent would say or like a warning sign on the backside of a white spirit bottle "Consuming the content of this container might give you double vision, do not try to puke, call a doctor etc".

I have run Ams 100;1 premix in all 2 stroke bikes that I have owned. From 175 yamahas 200 yamahas Kdx 200s and Kx500s. Amsoil 100:1 is compatibable with all types of 2 stroke engines even weedeaters. I also supply Ams 100 to lots of other long term users in my district. These riders have had no problem with the stuff at all. Some of the owner/self maintainers even say they are amazed at the inners of there upper engines look clean and very tidy.     :mrgreen:   :wink:    :-D
