Last year I switched to Redline [50:1] and the results were much better but still developed more spooge than I liked. The Motul 800 developed so much that it actually would drip off the silencer onto the swingarm. The Redline mix was better but still dripped about halfway down the silencer and was thick enough to be difficult to clean off.
So, for this last weekends ride I made the switch back to Motul but the 710 [based on some posts here] at the same 50:1 ratio.
After 2.5hrs of a mix of single track and fast double track, I had ZERO spooge running down the silencer.
I will note that I had less "smoke time" on warm up and when hard on the gas out on the trail with the 710 than I did with either the 800 or Redline. Throttle response seemed better and power/torque delivery "felt" stronger.
The "non existent" spooge tells me that it is indeed a "cleaner" burning mix. I will keep an eye on things to make sure that it is the case and not a situation that is actually too lean. I think I will stay with this one for a while since one ride may not be a sufficient test.
FWIW that is my 2 cents.

Im 'hoping' using 710 will give me the results it did for you. Sounds very positive........
Ive just bought some today after alot of reading-up. Just need to get rid of the pre-mix thats already in the tank now so i can start afresh.
Have you done any plug-chops etc to see if you were running lean, or if the new oil had any effect on mixture as-such ?
