    Motul is good stuff. You can't go wrong there. I use Motorex 2t in all my two stroke bikes. The trail bikes get 60/1 and the trials bike gets 100/1. Runs clean, smells good, low wear on engine parts.

    I use Maxima Super M at 40:1.

    You're probably going to find as many options in this thread as you would if you browsed through the 2-stroke oil section on your favorite moto parts website. I firmly believe that any of the brand name quality oils will work fine.

    The Motul 40/1 you're running in your boys bike should work just fine in your 250. Keep life simple. :thumbsup:

    I am REALLY not trying to start something here, but, why does everybody say "do not" run outboard two stroke oil? If it meets Mercury and Yamaha specs why is it bad? I have always been told not to but never given a reason why. Just curious.

    It is designed to work at a constant load with a different design of ring. Ring surface radius is much steeper on an outboard engine piston ring, and overall engine compression is lower.

    I know dirtdame replied but another consideration is injector vs. mixing oil, a fair number of engines inject and they are a little different oil
