Yes. That honda oil is crap. Motul is great even though it's French.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...

200 Too Oily?
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.kingmoochr wrote:The oil in the box and somewhat on the filter was exactly the color and consistency of the Honda oil. I figured the blow back from the 2T was soaking the filter and perhaps leaking down into the box. I will take a look at my reeds and make sure they are ok as well.
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
