02bansheerider Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 hey i just bought some amsoil series 2000 oil and plan to switch over to it from castor 927 after my gas in the tank goes dry. My question is, i am running castor at 32:1 with just fmf pipes around 800 ft above sea level and jetted i believe with 300 mains, should i reject to run amsoil 50:1? if so, any ballpark guesses?

Flyin_Shee Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I don't think you'll need to rejet for changing your oil mixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBANSHEE Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 If anything you will be a little rich, so I would get it switched over and run maybe a 1/4 tank through it then put in new plugs and do a plug chop. Might need to go down 1 jet size, JUST GUESSING. Good luck-----Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02bansheerider Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 ok thanks, on the amsoil website it says that series 2000 should only be used in "racing machines" that are inspected and rebuilt often, does this mean that it will cause my engine to wear faster ?

ledofthezep Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 You'd be just fine, no need to re-jet. I've always mixed mine 40:1 & I'm still running the stock '97 pistons & cyl's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02bansheerider Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 ok thanks for the replies ill go ahead and try it out and see how shee runs. One other question, i need to replace my tranny oil because its pased due for new stuff but the only 10w30 i could find without the "energy conserving" label was the high mileage that had other additives in it. i did find 20w50 with out the energy conserving label, will that be okay to use?

With my stock clutch I always ran Valvoline 10w30, never tried the high-mileage shizzle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I run regular 10/40 in my shee and bike, you dont want to use any energy conserving or high milage stuff because of the extra additives in them or your clutch will slip.
