Default lt50 2 stroke oil?

Is the lt50 oil injection fed? i need to know so i can buy the correct oil, need to know if i need injector mix or if i could use the same premix 2stroke oil that i mix with the petrol for my mx bike.

If it's a 2-stroke Suzuki 50 (LT-50 until about 2000, LT-A50 from about 2001-2005?, LT-Z50 four stroke thereafter) it's oil injected and there should be an oil tank under the seat. A lever under the rear of the seat releases it so you can lift it up. The tank's cap says "OIL" right on it. Obviously don't premix.

Any good quality 2-stroke oil will work great. I buy NAPA's brand in quarts because that little engine doesn't drink very much of it.

That's a great little machine you have there. My son LOVES his and rides wherever we do. We have the machine restricted to about 13-15 MPH which still gives him enough power to climb some surprisingly steep hills.

Thanks for the reply WAATV, I think i worded my question wrong, i know where the oil tank is and how to get to it. im wanting to know can i put normal 2 stroke oil in the same as i put in my mx bike or do i have to buy injector mix oil. i had a road bike a while back and i had to buy injector mix oil and couldnt use normal premix oil.

I presume regular 2-stroke oil will work. I've never heard anyone suggest otherwise, and it's what I use. I don't have the manual handy or I'd look it up. Perhaps someone else has access to their manual and can look it up.

ok thanks. i dont know what the difference is between the premix oil and injector mix, im thinking injector mix is thinner than premix. If anyone else has a lt50 can you post which 2 stroke oil you use please.

I use the Suzuki brand oil that they sold me at the dealership, but I've heard some people prefer a synthetic.

I am currently using yamalube. Any 2 stroke oil from the dealer will work.

To an oil pump in the engine case.
