Valvoline 4 Stroke in the tranny and Spectro for premix. I have a big vintage Yamaha 1100 and it has a very noisy valve train. The Valvoline makes them quiet down more than any oil I've tried.

I run Amsoil in my YZ450F and the wifes TTR125 typically see's Torco, Bel Ray and Suzuki brand oil. Im gonna start putting the Mobil 1 in it at next oil change. The Wal Mart by my house has it 8 bucks a quart.

Motul because my friend used to get it at a discount.
Now that he doesn't race anymore I'm a free agent. So send t-shirts and I'll switch :-)

Amsoil................................best stuff


I still have a tub of ..................................."Bel-Ray Saltwater Proof Grease"

Yes, I am aware it is the same stuff(says MARINE on the new tub



As for your actual question I would go with Bel-Ray.

Whatever you run the most important thing you can do is change it often.

It doesn't make much difference after that.
