zachass9 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 What is the best oil to run with methanol and what ratios are most of you running? I was told to run Maxima 927 @ 24:1. Is this correct? Any opinions are welcomed!! this is my first experience with methanol, so all info is great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I run castor 927 at 28:1 myself. Both Klotz Supertechniplate and Castor 927 are good oils. The Klots will burn cleaner, but I prefer the extra goopy-ness of the castor. There are a couple other oils out there that will run with the methanol, but I can't remember what they are. Benoil or something like that I think... - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundish2800 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Klotz Supertechniplate is what i run at 28:1. Alot of people i ride with run klotz benol at 32:1. The benol leaves alot of residue behind when it burn that why i dont run it. the techniplate has 20% castor oil in it. so it burns a little cleaner but gives you some protection with the caster oil in it. plus i like the smell of the Klotz :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Supertechniplate 32:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachass9 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks for the input!! On gas, I always ran Klotz, becasue I liked the smell and it had good reviews, but Jim suggested running the maxima 927 @ 24:1, so I guess I will do that!! Dennis Packard said Mazima 927 at 5oz per gallon, like 27 or 28:1. And @ M&M suggested Klotz benoil at 20:1, so I jsut wanted to know what everyone else was doing!! Thanks again!!

dajogejr Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I used to use Benoil (Klotz) at 28:1, but I switched to Supertechniplate (which is also Klotz and has castor oil in it) at 28:1. I've never had a lubrication issue...and I put a LOT of passes on my bike. Redline is good alky oil too, but it's pricey and not very easy to get. I switched to supertechniplate for 2 reasons. 1. It stays mixed better in cold temps (we ride ice here in the winter) and 2. It is more readily available at most performance shops. As long as you are using a castor based oil...you're fine. Here's a tip no one else mentioned. Whatever oil you use for your alky, make sure you use it for your purge gas (which I mix at 20:1) If you use a non-methanol compatible oil in your purge gas, it will gum up your carbs. Been there, done that. I literally purge my bike until it dies from fouling out the plugs. I've got huge float bowls and it takes a few minutes to clean them out. Everyone has their favorite oil, just like anything else. I say use whatever castor based oil you can get your hands on easily and cheaply.... and do NOT mix any leaner than 32:1. As said, don't be afraid to slop the oil in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
