Great Stuff, do you know what jetting you are running and what altitude are you at. H!-R is good oil for sure
It is stock jetting, right off the showroom floor. I’m in the northeast, if that helps, I’m not quite sure about the altitude. But the bike seems pretty good so far with just tweaking the air screw. It’s been very humid here lately, might have to make some changes, when it cools down, we will see,

Just wanted to bring you up to date, on what I’ve found out. The bel-ray H1R is a very high flashpoint, and after my boy started ringing it out, after break in, it started spooging bad out the exhaust. So I looked up the motorex which husky recommended, and it’s got a way lower flashpoint. But it’s so damn expensive. So the dealership recommended Honda HP2, it has the same flashpoint, as motorex. So I mixed it up at 32:1 like the bottle recommended, and am running 93 octane pump gas. This is with stock jetting. The bike runs great, and no more spooge. Just a little air screw dialing. I researched this HP2 oil, and it is considered to be one of the best synthetic oils on the market, and very highly recommended, by many riders reviews. So that’s where I’m at with this.

HP2 is great oil. We run it and have no oil spooge whatsoever in either of our 2018's.......

Wouldn’t a higher flash point be better for a high revving mx 85-125? What are the advantages of running petroleum or a petroleum synthetic mix over synthetic 2t oil?

The higher flashpoint oil, was a very thick oil, which was making it spooge out the exhaust. That’s why I started running the proper oil, and it made a difference. The bike wasn’t burning all the fuel with the heavier oil. It ran hotter, and wasn’t pleased with it. Loving the HP2, great oil.

Just to throw a spanner in the works , I had the same issues with spooge on my sons 2019 85, After messing about and getting nowhere i finally believe i have solved the issue.

1. Changed the needle to 1 leaner NRKD clip in the middle (I am at 5500 feet)
2. Running CASTROL POWER 1 RACING 2T Fully Synthetic

This Castrol oil has the lowest flash point of any synthetic 2T (77 Degrees)

The bike runs clean and right with no spooge dripping out the pipe
