KDX's spoo.... I agree. My exhuast tip gets black, but it never runs. That's with nasty packing and after many hours of 1-3rd gear woods riding.

SKI, does your KX spoo as much as the KDX did?

I liked the Maxima K2 and only changed when I read guys on this site talk about how great Amsoil Interceptor was. Of course, a local mechanic that I trust thinks Amsoil is crap.

It seems that everyone has both a success story as well as a horror story with every kind of oil that is out there. My guess is that if you run any quality oil at a reasonable ratio, you will live happily ever after...

I realize that all 2 strokes are subject to spoo, but I have not seen ANY 2 stroke that spoos like the KDX. I think Jerry is right; there is something inherent in the KDX design that lends itself to unburned gasoline making its way out of the engine. I'm sure some of you have spot-on jetting and the back of your S/A is pristine, but my KDX is far from stock and it spoos all the time, and has for 5 years.

I have yet to see another 2T that spoos like the KDX. Oh well. If that is the worst problem I have today, it will be a good day!!

Remember your fuel has ethanol in it now. The spoo may be from the station tanks..'cuz alcohol is hygroscopic (absorbs water). Try a different station/different brand. Best yet..as you already said...try some C12 or Trick114. If you do that, realize that your performance may indeed take a huge hit..but see if the drips stop.

You're completely into the 'new' oil now? As mentioned, castor does not play well with others. Anything that's been mixed with it should be gotten rid of. Burn some weeds with it...do your part to expand your carbon footprint!!

My bike used to run clean as a pin..powder dry at the SA tip, even. It hasn't done that for a number of years, now...and I've not been able to get it stopped. I don't worry about it no moh...I'm more interested in the bike running well, and it does that.

How about an SA repack?

Very good point.
