Love it. Certainly the most convenient way to ride a smokee if you can find it and the performance is really good

I'm more interested in your '04 RM250. Laughing How do you like it?

I bought a 54 gallon drum last year, and keep a N2 blanket on it so it stays fresh. Only dispense what I need for the day.

It runs well, has a strong odor. Was running straight C12 prior in my yz250, per TMR to go with the cylinder/head work he had done. Same day same track same conditions back to back I am 2 main jet sizes larger with T2 than straight C12. I generally drain my tank on the bike back into a 5 gallon VP metal VP can because I only ride it once a week or every other week because I also have a 450 I ride quite a bit.

Have not had much of a chance to ride it since I bought it. But from what I have experienced it runs great. Turns incredibly good better than the 450s I’ve had.

Is the odor a good one? And so you didn’t really mention do you like it ? Is it worth the money? I’m not really concerned on performance benefits since my engine is mostly stock with some bolt on but more going for the longevity of it and the positive effects it has on a engine compared to the crappy ass pump gas they have now days. I tore the engine down after it seized and there was lots of carbon built up on top of the piston.

Sounds like you were running lean. Seized and lots of carbon on top of piston makes me think that.

I use regular 110 in my 125 but in a pinch I've used T-2. Smells great, bike definitely barked up top and almost had a slight lean pop. Overall would run again.

I like the smell - both before its burnt and after

if you arent concerned witha ny kind of "performance" , something like VP110 or sunoco 110 will be lighter on your wallet, and is a lot more "stable" / less "finicky" than an oxygenated fuel.
