smells sweet huh? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

It comes from the premix oil. I use the strawberry smell, but I also heard cherry exist...hehe.
My oil is Ipone Racing, but I have read that someone uses Power Pro (not really sure of the name though) and it smells cherry.

Funny.

It is actually oil manufactured by Manhatten Oil in California. It is red in color and smells like strawberry shampoo while in the bottle.

The oil you are speaking of is called: Power Plus Castor/Synthetic Mix. The pure synthetic will not smell like this.

Klotz oil? That is by far the best smelling oil for two strokes.

Xplor,

Speaking as someone who was practically raised breathing Klotz fumes, I think it's the nicest smell in the world. My girlfriend (who rides behind me) agrees that it is a lot better smelling than that old Polaris blue.

i used to run castor927 in my quadracer and banshee. everyone always commented on how nice it smelled. i would back up into the corner of the garage with the engine running and just enjoy the fumes for hours.

Try the Amsoil. You'll love the classic smell and your engine will love the classic protection. Been using nothing but Amsoil for years. If you're looking for the cherry smell try sucking on a Jolly Rancher. They're a classic too! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
