2 stroke oil for 99 cr 250

[99CR250]

hi

i just bought a 99 crr 250. i was told to use 95 fuel with a 40:1 mix, what oil would you recommend?

thanks

Super cheap sell FUCHS Silkolene, the ester based stuff, really good stuff, plus you can get it on a sunday when bike shops are shut. they have other top oil brands too.

Depends how it is jetted. That 40:1 recommendation is probably for a full synthetic oil. It's a good starting point.

Just found a note from my first call to the seller, i think he said he was using 'Motul' (i've not heard of) - is that any good/ which is best out of these two or are they pretty much the same?
supercheap sunday handy tip cheers

Motul is good, but expensive. I just use TTS.

motul is good for your bike, but terrible for your wallet.

ive been using castrol TTS since 1994 in my CR's (continuiously) and have never had a lubrication problem, 40:1 is good, and 95 is good for that generation of engine.

all this assumes your bike isnt jetted crazy.

but if it went ok on motul at 40:1, it should be fine on anything else.

TTS is typically about $85 for 4 litres, best time to buy is when supercheap has a "everything 20% off sale" or similar, theres no money in this stuff and im yet to find anyone who can / will do it cheaper- i had a contact at repco who told me THEY were buying it for $79~ .... so theres not much room for better deals.

other plus sides is its sold pretty much everywhere and someone always has some at an event should you forget yours

i use motul... 92 for 4 litres isnt that bad.

From where? Iv seen it as high as $32/L

[B0000M]

only price ive ever seen on motul was $110 for 4 litres

I get it for $100 for 4 litres. Buying by the litre is alot more expensive

Scotty does Elf Moto 2T bulk refill for $53.32 + GST for 4 Litres (Jan '10)

boyds. if you get the right guy (troy) he always gives a discount if you ask. Normally 100 for 4L. Bet a while since i bought any though - may have gone up, got 4L of yamalube from a guy who went to 4 strokes. Seems alright - hasnt blown my bike up yet anyway

I've also got a QR50, I think the seller said he put in a mobil 2 stroke - the fuchs stuff is pretty dear, should i use that or different on the QR?

[B0000M]

on a qr you could just use any 2 stroke oil. Basic scooter stuff will do
