What to use? Mineral based, semi synthetic or full synthetic and what brands are the most popular. Im just about to do the first oil change which I will be using normal 4 stroke oil then I will need to choose my new oil. Any ideas?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Could someone also tell me what the best oil is to use when mixing your gas for a banshee. I guess what I am asking is the best oil for the best price. Also, what the best mix ratio?

 

Do not use synthetic oil during the break-in period!

Nothing scientific but I prefer the Yamaha oils. Too many people fry the clutch experimenting with the wrong oils that have additives that are good for the engine but bad for the clutch.

Amsoil is probably one of the best 2 stroke oils you can use. They make a great oil for 4-strokes too.

NotuRaptor2 is bang on with this, use only oils that are rated for use with 4 stoke motorcycles.
The clutches share the same oil. Most automotive oils have anti-ware agents or friction reducers, these are great from getting better gas mileage and engine life, but they will eat up your clutch. If you find oil that you want to use call the manufacture (1-800-customer-service) they will help you with their product guide to find the proper oil to use with your quad.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
