200 Too Oily?

Post by fuzzy »

It is in the tank now, then will be replaced with Motul 2T. It came with the bike, was blue, and DISGUSTINGLY messy/nasty. The entire airbox was coated with the crap. Took forever to get cleaned out. Maybe I'll wait until running on the Motul before I get too involved...
Yes. That honda oil is crap. Motul is great even though it's French. :cool:

If you do switch to a different oil, I'd suggest you empty your gas can and tank, some oil really don't like to mix.
I had trouble when I switched, fouling plug every 5 min.
Some people use 2 stroke oil to coat their filter too, I use to do that in the old days, better than nothing but I didn't know any better :naughty:
