And unburned smells like strawberries and burned always reminds me of cotton candy but my nose is jacked up from working in a petrochemical facility so it could be strawberries.

It smells LIKE strawberries for the first 5minutes....after that smells like burnt plastic to me šŸ’šŸ»

I've seen many of these wonder oils over the years. You really think some guy in his garage stumbled onto something big the oil companies don't know about?
Really like the we don’t use a dye because if your having wear issues we want you to see it. The reason they rebuild motocross bikes all the time isn’t because they don’t run anymore it’s because they lost that minute amount of power and the want it back. If your seeing metal in your undyed oil residue in the engine your probably already done. Her and a thermal engineer came up with it, wonder if they hired a tribologist to blend the oil for them. Like she added in the we use friction modifiers and grade modifiers ect just like every other oil on the shelf does. Looking at the temp gun and it’s 20-30 degrees swing it’s pretty hard to judge anything by that.

Right now it’s Ipone Scooter semi-syn at 32:1 JASO FD - it’s on the JASO certified list - not a ā€œmeets the requirementsā€ oil. And unburned smells like strawberries and burned always reminds me of cotton candy but my nose is jacked up from working in a petrochemical facility so it could be strawberries.

I have a lot to use up- Motul 800, Castor 927, Honda HP2, Red Armor, Husqvarna XP and Klotz Techniplate. Maxima K2 is on order. As an old amateur motocrosser I’m partial to Maxima - especially since Belray sold out to Calumet.

Have you considered joining Chainsaw Sniffers Anonymous ?

I still stand by my comment.
As it pertains to MX bikes. I raced and rec road them for years. You rebuild them often because the piston to wall clearance opens up and you risk cracking a piston. If your doing it right you rebuild long before power drops off.
