Recommended 2stroke oil

Best oil out there for me is Castrol XR77.

 

It's been discontinued, but can still be found in places. I've swapped to A747 as a result. Suply seems to be better.

 

25:1 for both.

 

The important thing to know is whether your chosen oil is mineral based ( castor ) or synthetic...or if it's a mix of oils and semi-synthetic. Do NOT mix synthetic and mineral based oils, as you can end up with a gooey mess when the additives react. Buy a high-quality low ash oil, and be prepared to spend a bit of extra cash on a good oil, as the quantities used are not huge...and the effect a poor oil has on your engine is!

 

It's false economy, in my opinion, to run cheap scooter oils or oils designed for lawnmowers....

That was my second choice, but I luckily found a bottle of A747 in a bike shop in Farnham that I was working near today.
