2-stroke oil experiment.

Buellxb Forum

Help Support Buellxb Forum:

Ran an ounce today, burned through an entire tank. Not much difference noticed. Maybe runs a little cooler, but certainly didn't notice any drastic change.

same thing happened with me.. bump it up to 2oz and give it some time to kick in..

1oz was noticeable in my 984.. but it wasn't in the 1203... bump it up
 
Yeah I love my Buell and country music, chrome just doesn't do it for me! But I am intrigued and confused by your post gloom? Plus I'm going cross eyed reading these post lol!:D
 
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.
 
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?
 
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.
 
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 shit. :D
 
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.
