250 2 smokes premix question

[jlv]

When I started running H1R I noticed there was no longer any oil pooled in the crankcase, instead it was coating everything with a nice film of oil. Definitely good stuff.

I only use Castor 927 or Klotz Benol in my bike, at 32:1.... except when the temperatures drop below about 50degrees, then i switch to yamalube. Castor's don't mix well when the fuel is cold.

Isn't yamalube a blend? I wouldn't use that.

What's with people saying it's bad to run different oils in your bike? Like, say with 1 5gal jerry can I used Opti-2, and then the next 5gal I used Klotz? Both mixed at the same ratio of 40:1 of course? Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't it only matter on the premix ratio? Or is it because they might be different kind's of oil? I've never fouled a plug or gone through a bottom end/top end because of not getting enough oil to any of the motor, only becuase of normal wear and tear. I used to run Opti-2 religiously but I now run some Lucas stuff because that's all they had when I was on vacation riding (and I forgot to bring my opti-2 ) They didn't have any small jug's either, only 4L. I'm going to pick up some Klotz soon, but should I finish using the lucas stuff first? I usually go through a Canadian 5Gal (20L) jerry can in 2-3 rides.

A question for you guy's with 07+ YZ's, I notice my bike is very flat up top. It's been like that since I bought it (had 5 hours on it when I picked it up) and I heard its normal for our bikes. I have a fresh top end, replaced the packing (even though the original stuff was like new), no dent's in my pipe etc. Are there any jetting changes I can make to make it pull a bit harder up top, or do I need to pick up a pipe? I beleive I'm running factory jetting right now (haven't even looked at it because it's running fine where it's at). Also, is it worth investing in a 7oz flywheel weight for the track? My dad ran a 13oz for the bush on his 04/07/08/09, but he sold all of the goodies for them. I heard a 7oz is pretty much the perfect amount to let you get traction on hardpack but still get on top of the sand and take off like a 2 stroke should. Any advice would be appreciated.

You'd have to get an aftermarket pipe and silencer combo, I believe. Yz's are midrange bikes in my opinion. If you want a stock bike that rips in the top end, buy a CR. They're turds unless you're revving the piss out if it. KTM's are good choices too. They pull hard everywhere.

In fact, just go with the KTM. The 2013 sx is sexy as and fast as hell.

0.99% financing for 60 months Around here I believe

Sounds like an awesome deal.....not.

DON'T FINANCE BIKES OR OTHER TOYS EVER

+1 to that. Financing is a baaad idea.

Make that +2.

Coming from 16 year olds....lol.

If it weren't for financing, there wouldn't be many people with a bike nowadays. Plus it helps your credit, which helps you get other things..like a car and house. Financing is not bad unless you don't make your payments.

[Ballsfalsky]

You're still taking a chance when you sign that contract. I'd much rather buy a bike straight up.

2-R? No.

[jlv]

Didn't realize that was a full synthetic. I ran a tank of Golden Spectro (a synthetic blend) before I did a top end once. Everything looked dry, just like it looks when you run outboard oil. I went right back to using H1R. I won a bottle of MC1 (yet another blend) sometime after that and gave it to someone to run in their chainsaw.
