Hey just a thought here about 2t oil,I ran blendsall in my dirt bikes years ago It performed great,but when it came time to teardown left kind of a sticky residue an everything,I was a honda guy and ran yamalube in everything from then on burns quit a bit cleaner.No yamaha shop close so running motul full synthetic now. Don't know how good it is yet.

The gal i bought my my 2005 from ran bellray si 7 for 10,000 miles when i opened the cylinder up I can still see the factery hone marks going to run it as is,it does tend to clog a bit at the pipe,thats why im going to try the motul'bellray tended to do this with my dirt bikes too.So far i think yamalube is at the top.I'm sure there are other opinions out there  ;D

...full synthetics generally contain certain elements that "cling" to you mechanical parts better than BP distillates....

..induce less wear on your bits...

Thats the hype less friction less heat longer lasting motor.I'll have to dig out the crank of the vespa I'm working on to show what just any old oil can do It's was so frozen I broke the cylinder getting it out.

..it could be....a mind thingy, i reckon...


..all i know is that these lil engines work really hard...

..if i can give 'm a one-up with a bit of friction reduction, then it's worthwhile to do so...

I use ONLY synthetics in EVERY engine I own. IT WORKS BETTER! The only failure I have had is due to using "stock brand" 2t oil, and I burned a hole in my piston dome. I use Golden Spectro 2t. These oils leave less carbon, and allow the engine to run cooler (few degrees) so they do make a difference. ANYONE that says otherwise is just WRONG!
