KLOTZ BeNOL and powervalves
needaR, First let me say congratulations on being smart enough to use a good bean oil. No synthetics. All my two strokes use bean oil and I never had a problem with power valves sticking. This includes my not so high revving KX500. I mix the Klotz BeNol 32:1 or 4 oz to a gallon (which ever comes first).[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have also run castors for years and I love the way BeNol smells, but I spoke to someone at Klotz and he did not recommend I use it for regular trail/play riding even on my engine that does not have a powervalve. Castors have to be mixed at lower ratios like 32:1 compared to 40 or 50 to 1 for synthetics. They also create a thicker film that requires higher rpm to be fully burned. Synthetics also have rust inhibitors for better storage characteristics.
When I rebuilt my engine (for the first time) a couple years ago there was suprisingly little wear but alot of carbon deposits. I was also changing plugs every few rides.

Some like bean-oils, some don't. No Mo bean oil for me. Didn't like the way it ran and made much residue.
Ppl. recommend breaking in a motor on bean oils and other oils with less lubricating qualitys so the rings can actually wear in. Then recommend going to a synthetic.
Synthetics are proven to be higher in lubrication values. I recommend they be mixed at what that particular oil recommends.
My favorite is Torco GP-7, but a hard find. I'm currently using Amsoil. Maxima super blue and Klotz R-50 has worked well for me also.

I don't change mixtures for winter or anytime... get a good quality oil, and stick with it. I run what the oil mfg recommends, and jet accordingly.
Jetting will change with temperature and air density. It's best to buy a meter and take notes (If your as **** about proper jetting as I am)
My winter jetting can be quite different that summer... depends on the temp/density
I too ran belray... it made my exhaust valve quite sticky after a while...I noticed quite a bit of wear also.... Amsoil 2000 is the flavor I prefer... 3 years with the valve as clean as when I put it together.
Good luck
