2-stroke oil experiment.

[Gloomshadow]

1oz was noticeable in my 984.. but it wasn't in the 1203... bump it up

How am I going to convince my wife that I need Jager for my bike?

I have almost finished a whole bottle of 2stroke oil running ruffle a 1/2oz in the blast. I had some low end stumble when I first started to use it but I ha e had zero issues the last few tanks. I Used what ever super cheap Walmart oil and now that I know it works I'm going to try a better oil.

 

[Gloomshadow]

what was the effect on a Single?

 

[DualSportDad]

Put 2 oz in the Uly and rode to work and back, about 70 miles. I noticed no difference.

 

[Gloomshadow]

It seemed to take a tank or so but tune may have something to do with it too.. is your 12 stock? what was the temperature. We ran into that a few times already " I don't notice anything.." then later on its, "oh there it is yeah".

Could it have been how you were riding? What is your setup?

another thing I don't understand is this "adjustment period".. its not fuel injection, the Blast is carbed. Could it be breaking up carbon for the first few tanks?

Here is what the car guys are saying..

you guys think that TCW3 might be a better choice than the synth Homelite weed eater Im using now?

 

[DualSportDad]

2006 Uly with race muffler tuned by xopti. I don't care that oi don't see any benefit. I have a little 2stroke for my kid so I have the oil around. I'll dial it back to 500:1 and keep it going. A little top end lube couldn't hurt.

 

[s0dhi]

I prefer using the TCW3. It has worked very well in my vehicles.

Give it a try, Gloomshadow. It's time for you to get off that chainsaw/weedwacker ****.

I noticed a nice strong pull from mid range all the way to redline. I tried ½ oz the first tank noticed it right away, 2nd tank 1oz and she didn't like it (really wanted to stumble and idle ruff in low rpm's). Then every tank since then has been 1/2oz. 20/50w both holes (going to run 20/60w next go around), I live in Arizona, straight velocity stack intake and full header/exhaust. My first few tanks where also done with the airbox still on and factory exhaust with a second hole drilled in it.

I think youre right S0dhi ... im coming off weed wacker ******** and going true motorcycle.. besides I don't want to use up all my leafblower oil..

Bedaring: that is just that adjustment period .. I had the same thing with 2oz but by the 3rd tank it was gone... the hard starting and stumble was only like 3 or 4 times each per tank anyway. Keep bumping it up and the effect will get more pronounced .. the bike will adjust to it... I think based on what they car guys said, the oil is breaking up carbon and cleaning the fuel tank.. youre sucking down stuff that has been trapped in there for a while.. that's what they say.
