Hey all,
I finally bought a LT500 and LOVE IT. But, I do have a question. It has been a while since i had a 2 stroke, a long while. Back in the day we would use regular oil with no detergents. So, I was a little confused when I asked for some oil at the motorcycle shop and they recommended Honda Trans oil. Is anyone familiar with this? Or should I just use Mobile 1 15/50 synthetic? Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

Do not...I repeat...DO NOT put syn. oil in the trany. Believe me I speak from experience. I t will soften up all seals it comes in contact with. Even the bastard seal behind the prim. gear!!! Any good quality trany oil made for 2 strokes will do fine. Personally I use BELRAY's gearsaver oil for 2 strk's and H1R in the gas at 30:1

 

Thank you for saving my a$$! I will use what you use then. Thanks again for the info.

 

Klotz Benol is a good 2-cycle oil to use also and golden spectrol is good clutch oil.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yeah when it come to 2 stroke pre-mix, I use klotz benol with vp-12 race fuels. I use belray in the tranny as well.

 

THAT''S RIGHT kLOTZ BENOL YA CAN''T beat it,as for the tranns golden spectrol and ATF trans fluid,,just a racer secret.Will work with MX racing also.

 

series 2000 amsoil for me as premix and valvoline VR1 racing in the tranny!

 

I use golden Spectro @ 40:1 in the tank and Castrol 20w-50 GTX in the tranny...

 

DCopp , WHat ratio do you premix the amsoil.......i have heard allot of good things about amsoil.....im thinking of trying it.

 

Thanks for all the advice guys. I had a great time on the beast this sunday.
