    Hard to beat castor oil, but I got away from it because I ride in sub freezing temps a good portion of the year. Seperation can be a problem at these temps. Full synthetic for me now.:cheers:

    a teaspoon of corn oil per gallon prevents the seperation. Now it smells like popcorn for all those behind you.
    I am a synthetic man now as bean burns not so well and residue+powervalves =gooy mess

    That's what I had found as well. I used too like to run Blenzall castor oil, smelled great and burned nicely, but made the piston rings stick in the grooves and bound up the power valves. Stuck rings and powervalves = poor performance and overheating.:thumbsdown:

    I ran A747 for a long time and though it was possible the best oil I've used, but since I can't get it anymore I went synthetic, too. Well, I use KLOTZ super technaplate because it's got a 20% castor blend with a synthetic castor base.

    I ran 927 and Klotz Bean oil some years ago. Both are good castor based oils if you really want castor.

    If 927 is easy for you to get then I'd run it.

    We used klotz super-techniplate (great smell!) until we got tired of cleaning powervalves every 100 hrs. Now we run maxima super-m or amsoil dominator and have done zero powervalve cleaning since we switched (about 1200 hrs on 3 different bikes in that time).

    We do alot of technical mountain trailriding, so someone working the engine harder and hotter may not have the same issue with the carbon.

    Yep, me three! I ran 927 when I first started riding on a CR80. I loved the smell but it took me about a year to figure out that it was giving me a headache. I just figured that was normal, what with all that crashing and bashing going on. Once I realized it was goo-ing up my motor I switched to something else and presto! No more headaches!

    I still love the smell, though; It brings back great memories :)

    I have heard nothing but good things about Motul, and was thinking of switching over from Motorex to it because it costs slightly less and is more available from some of my favorite suppliers.

    I ran Motul 800 T for a few years no issues....I also I run it in the nephews bikes and he kept bugging me about the smell....

    I told him if he started to turn the wick a bit more he could pass me and then would NOT have to worry about the smell.....:lol:

    I run Maxima K2 now 3%....smells a bit sweeter...and a bit less spoogy

    and my nephew hasnt complained yet :busted:

    A747/Castor oil is really meant for high revving, all day two strokes like carts and road bikes as it's designed for high temp use. Also, with castor oil, l've never seen it mixed properly by just shaking the can - most of the two stroke racers l've spoken too all mix it well with paddle mixers and then throw it out if not used as moisture contaminates it pretty quickly.
    A747 is a castor/synthetic mix l think whereas the old R30 was straight castor?

    Eitherway, go pure synthetic Anth!!

    PS R30 was the only two stroke oil that HRC endorsed..just quietly :)
