It also mentions the R-50 having caster in it. Something that causes gum up. Check out the post if you would and let me know what you think. Also Scram you mentiion that I should mix it 40:1 or 50:1. My TB is stock and I still have my injector on it. So what would be the stock setting and would I need to change it or could I just drain my old oil out and add this new Klotz KL-305 and go on my way. Thanks again guys. And check out that old post.

And you are correct.The R-50 is for modern high rpm 2-strokes.

I just like the smell. Several of the guys that ride where I ride use it and I thought that I would try it. I'm not all about Klotz. Never use it before. Just thought that I would try something new. Changing the oil would give me something to do.

That's the glory of Klotz, it smells good and works even better. Do a search on 2-stroke oils and the testing that they have to go through. The tests are unbelievable and you wonder how they could pass. There aren't many 2-stroke oils I would be afraid to run as long as they were mixed correctly and the jetting was right.

I have read a lot of good things about this Amsoil too. It is also a non TCW3 oil. I use Amsoil in my car and have for about ten years. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/ait.aspx

Scram I've got a gallon jug of that old blue oil in my garage. Cant believe when I bought my TB that the dealer suggested that I get it. My TB want go through a gallon of oil in years and years. Plus its non synthetic. When I bought my kids there polaris 90 They gave me a free quart of polaris gold. I've been using that for my leaf blower and weed eater. These machines just dont use the oil. Anyway I've ordered the klotz so I'll give it a try this spring. Thanks.

Why did you get the Klotz? IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED! If you notice, all the oils I suggested to you are not TCW3 or TCW2 rated. That is because they are a better choice for our machines. Also the Spectro is higher rated JASO D instead of the JASO C that the Klotz is rated.
