Ive raced two strokes my whole life. I ran yamalube for years and its the second best premix on the market in my opinion. I've been running Motul 800 for the last decade and couldn't be happier with it. Plus it smells like strawberries.
If you want pure smell and dont care about performance, bean oil will give you a hard on like a hooker at prom. Then again 927 makes my heart skip a beat everytime I smell it too.
C12 or Sunoco 110 leaded ran straight (not mixed with 91 swill) will give you you're best jetting test platform, as leaded fuel will give a true indication of how the bike is operating when you pull the sparkplug to examine it. Unleaded fuels have a tendency to give false readings in two strokes.
and lostboy is right, 32:1 has less fuel in it than 50:1, so it is leaner, but with more oil for better piston seal,
Run straight C12 even in a stock two stroke and be dissapointed that it actually does run better and its 12.50 a gallon! I dont care what everyone says that if it doesn't detonate on pump you dont need straight race gas... Ok... You havent run them back to back and it does make a difference! The ethanol i pump gas will cause pinging an detonation its garbage!
Yes 50:1 is leaner oil mixture but it is richer fuel ratio... 32:1 provides the best midrange due to better sealing rings with richer oil and 40:1 will give a tad more overrev!
Oh and castor oil smells awesome bu have fun scraping carbon... Any quality synthetic will be aweome, ive been running Motul 800 with excellent results lately but have had great success with maxima K2 at 32:1!
With that being said , I have a few buddies that run the 927 during the warmer months and will switch to something else during the winter....as 927 seems to separate more during the cold months. Don't know the whole story on this , so I'll ask them the next time I talk to them.
The castor bean oil is known to separate even at normal temps, that's why you really have to shake the shit out of the can to ensure proper solution of the oil but especially at cold temps!
Castor smells awesome...especially in C12 but just run the full synthetic.... Amsoil, Motul, Maxima K2, Motorex... They all work awesome and you won't be scraping carbon when you do a top end... Just wipe everything clean!
We're going to have a very , very early spring here! First week in Feb.....and this past week I've been getting woke up in the morning by a bunch of birds which have already flown back up here from the south! Crazy! Also means we are going to have a long , hot and wicked summer I think. Worse than last year!
Ive been running 50:1 with Motul 800, HP Transoil with Sunoco 110. My bikes are crisp and jetted beautifully.
Go look at some videos of my 250 and 300. They sound nasty!!!
Pit Row
Castor 927
Straight 100LL
40:1
I make sure to shake because it does seem to separate. Winter seems to be a little worse on the separation in my experience.
Always tempted to try something else but I have never had problems so no reason to change.
To answer the OP, I have a 250sx as well and run Amsoil 40:1 with C12/pump gas. No I don't know the BEST oil to use because I have not tested them all
40:1 seems to work for me fairly well.
I have always used Yamalube mixed 32:1 with straight cam 2 (Sunoco 110). Been racing two strokes since 1977 and never had an engine failure. I am religious on cleaning air filters and changing rings and pistons when needed. Tranny oil is replaced every ride.
I used Motul for a long time and it does exactly what it should do, and i still get impressed when i teardown/inspect
