T_Shee Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 well i used to use klotz at 40:1 when i first got my shee. then i found this repsol stuff and it was only $7.50 a quart compared to over $13 a quart for klotz. never fouled the first plug with klotz and now that ive swithched ive fouled about 4, and im still mixing at 40:1. i know there are other factors that could be causing this but i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if its something else im missing or just coincidence. anyway im gonna switch back to klotz then i should know for sure Quote

Order a couple quarts from rocky mountain next time you order some thing. That way you not just paying shipping just for 2 or 3 quarts of oil. Quote
desertdeweller Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 some oils are just that bad. I went to an engine failure class on chainsaws you should have seen how dirty some of the oils were. none of them were used for bikes how ever. they compared some of their all of their own brands and some out board oils. The synthetics were by far the cleanest some of the low smoke oil they used to offer were as bad as the out board oils. some of the oils would cause the rings to be stuck and the exhaust plugged. I am sure some of the 2 stroke oils for bikes are just as bad. Buying cheap oil now might save you a couple of bucks. but if your tearing down the top end every 20 or 30 hours because of running cheap oil, or fouling plugs every other ride. Your not saving a dime and often spending more. Quote
BansheeRider87 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Cheap oil cheap quality Quote

BansheeRider87 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 I dont run klotz i run Amsoil Injector :thumbsup: I love it. You should switch Quote
jbooker82 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 I dont run klotz i run Amsoil Injector :thumbsup: I love it. You should switch Why run an Injector oil that is thined down so it will flow through an Injector pump at low temps. Run Klotz SuperTechniplate 80% Synthetic 20% Benol Caster Quote
