R50 is good stuff, but is like the 'dominator' in that it's meant for engines getting strung out all the time. I think it has a touch of castor in it. You would most likey find, that over time, this would create buildup that cleaner burning oils wont....In a woods application. Still way better than those dino/bean blends!!!

Nope. R50 is a full synthetic, no bean oil. Just has an added fragrence in it that smells like castor.
I'll be doing a top end on the KDX next winter and will have a first hand report then.:grin:

+1 on the Klotz, we run it in the MX bikes with good results at 32:1. I know a guy that fried a 200 KTM running the Amsoil at 100:1 lol. The KDX gets 2M at 50:1 along with the Evinrude. :oops:

Ran Redline 50:1 last year.

Motul 800 40:1 this year.

No reason, just experimenting.

I like Motul,though I use the 710 at 50:1. It burns real clean and when I pull top ends, Everything is clean and lubed up. Yummy stuff !!!!
