Just watched the heat. If I was team leader/ manager BOTH would have been told that team comes 1st, the time for crap like that is at practice track. Definitely more bad PR with HDeegan. Somebody needs to take the lead and be a 'mentor' in this part of his career - oh and def not dad!

Regardless of how things go during the week you don't do your teammate like that when it's race day

I have found Motul products are a step above most any other oil I have used or seen across the board 2T or 4T. As a rider/racer/ engine builder I was happy with my brand years ago...however when I would get full race engines in for service etc and they were at new spec's and had a coating of lube as slick as syrup it was Motul 8002T the owners were using, when I switched I noticed my bike was a blip or two on the throttle from being clean and ready to rip when you start in staging to...

ive only ever run motul trans and motul 800 in my yz 125, i bought it new in 2003 and lost count of the hours id raced on it after 2005, still goin strong on it now, i break it down every year and it always looks great, apart from bearings, its only ever had a outer clutch basket in the bottom from new, the down side is its mega expensive compared to other mx oils that are in most shops here like putoline, silkolene etc

Probably had as much to do with oil change interval as anything else. Having said that, I have a friend with a KTM 450SX that swears by Amsoil. He isn't anal about his service intervals but he stays on it. He sent his motor our for a teardown and rebuild at 140 or so hours. The mechanic called and asked him if he was sure it had never been worked on because the insides looked immaculate. Piston and rings were in spec. Take it for what it's worth.

2nd sentence....Correct. This would mostly apply to new oil put into an old neglected dirty engine. The detergent package should help clean and suspend to be able to be flushed out. Newer maintained engines sometimes see minimal change. An extreme heat event can darken oilimmediately. 1st question, most ratings are paid for and cost money. Probably the most well known in last 10 years would be on regular engine oil with the Dexos Gen 1,2,3, that supersedes the old GM specs. Each brand is issued a license to run that. Not having That does NOT necessarily mean an oil won't...

Switching from BelRay. It seems Motul offers more performance and quality all around. The smoother shifting is a big factor for me and longevity I'm seeing from these other guys is amazing.

I use it for my premix. Top notch stuff.

What would compel you to run 80:1? You should see how clean crude oil runs at 100:1 or even 150:1. We have tested oil at insane lean ratios and literally there is no good coming from it. 80:1 would be OK for a trials guy idling on a boulder for a minute, hopping to another boulder and idling for a minute, or maybe grandpa riding to go get his mail. Even these crazy ratios "recommended". Yes it works. Hell, with a loose enough engine, 150:1 might survive, but engine wear increases through the roof and again, why? Even ask a...
