What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Roadfxr]

I gonna use it and also just ordered some Yamaha R2 at 9 sumthin a quart and some Honda HP2 a 7 sumthin a pint just to try also.

Can’t go wrong with either one of those choices.

I was thinking about trying HP2 honda oil, looks reasonable on ebay shipped.

Did someone say they were going to stop making it?

I think Honda said they were going to stop making HP2 oil.

Well i guess i better not get to liking it too much then.

I had read either here or AS that Honda was going to discontinue HP2. I never found any other info about it anywhere else. Honda hasn't even made a 2 smoker in several years so i think they probably will. It did seem easily available on Amazon when I was looking though.

What's wrong with Lucas? I've heard they are a high quality company, but I guess just because they sponsor most races doesn't mean their stuff is best.

Leaves inside bearings dry.

Is Lucas made by Bel-Ray? seems like i read that somewhere.

I do not know. But I doubt it.

 

[Nutball]

Any theories as to why? Too thick, too thin, not sticky enough?

More than several years. 12 years to be exact.

I bought a gallon of VP 40:1 today for $20 and three 2.6 oz. VP 2 stroke full synthetic for 2.79 a bottle. FD on back of it, any good?View attachment 157148

It use to be but haven't used it in several years. Back then VP used Motul 710 in their premix but it's changed....probably to save $$$.

Anyone ever had buildup on the cylinder wall? I was recently looking over my 2188 and found a brownish stained area above the clutch side port on the cylinder. I'd think the rings would scrape it off. Is that a hot spot? Is it the 20% benol in super techniplate doing that? Is it a high blow by area? Is it protecting the cylinder since it isn't being rubbed off?

Bet it’s the castor

Castor will drop deposits on spots that are getting hot.
My guess is you have some blow buy in that area. Probably due to a rough port chamfer causing ring wear.

So I should get new rings. I was wondering if I should because I'm thinking of porting it soon; partially to clean out the ports and head, and then I might as well mod it and replace some parts while it's apart. Only around 50 tanks through it, so still young
