thanks you guys you are a real big help. reason i asked because i am getting a 84' honda 250r and i am going to ride it alot and i wanted only the best oil in it, is maxima a good oil mix? thats what i run in my 81' right now, also if you know of some good quality oil thats pretty cheap i would love to know lol[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

As you see everybody has a preferance. What you will notice is that all the oil's mentioned are for motorcycles.

I would not use oil that is designed for boats or small yard equipment in your 84. The gallon jugs at Wallmart that are inexpensive are not designed to lube an aircooled 3-wheeler. Prolly be fine for a watercooled bike/boat though.

I would run my mix at 42-1 for trail riding and 32-1 for hill climbs and duning.

Cut some holes in the front fender to get more air to the cooling fins too.
