Klotz oil, what style to get...

[Russell 350X]

I may be getting a 85 250R within the week or so, so I want to know what oil to get for it so I can be ready to ride. I know I'm gonna get Klotz, but which one? Dennis Kirk sells the R-50 Synthetic , Benol 2 Cycle Racing Castor, 2 Cycle Super Techniplate Racing Oil, or the BIA Grade Synthetic Techniplate. I'm assuming the R-50, seeing how it is more expensive. I am planning on running it 40:1, or is that to rich for a 250R LC with Klotz?

Im running supertechniplate in mine, I like it it smells kinda fruity and not much smoke!. I took the head off and it had cleaned alot of the old carbon off from the old oil. I run @ 50:1

All the modern synthetics/semi synthetics are excellent oils

Benol is good but with out the sythetic blend that Super Techniplate offers it just doesn't protect as well. I saw real results with the longevity of my cylinders when I switched up to the blend.

Super Techniplate offers best of both worlds with the slight blend they use. Like Sloth mentioned it is low smoke and has a sweet smell. When I switched to this oil I saw good results all around including longer life and better performance.

The only time I will run R50 is when I'm in a pinch. It's good but not any better then Super Techniplate. Actually I've had the best results with the Super Techniplate.

Never tried the BIA stuff so I can't help you with that.

I have a friend using that techniplate stuff. He took the head off after sitting for a month and found RUST.

LOL, wasn't from the oil, that's for sure.

Why do you say that? Maxima oils cause rust also.

Been using the stuff for 7yrs now and that's never happened!
