A couple of years ago the price went up at the two auto parts stores in town, so I switched to the Motul for just a little bit more. I now run the 710 at 50:1. Its super clean burning at trail riding pace.

Thats really interesting to know. Because the lanes i use rarely require me to 'Gun' the old girl, and i merely poodle around too. Have you had or needed any sort of strip-down since you've been using the 710 to see if the PV is gummed up etc........ ?

Recently read an advertorial by motul and they basically said the 710 is more suited to Enduro/ single track/old man riding. If you are riding flat out high revs the 800 is the one you need

And seriously: Can i just swap from a sythetic to an Ester based pre-mix oil with no issues ?? And if i swap: Is my bike gonna smell like a proper 2-stroke too with it being Ester based :- ) Used to be a drop of Castrol R40 in the tank when i was a lad.........

FWIW, I have also used Maxima K2 off and on and I get zero spooge with it. It has a similar low flash point like the Motul 710. I may go to it exclusively because the exhaust smells much better.

Mamima Super M. I used K2 for about a year then it went way up in price so I switched to Super M as it is about two-thirds the price. Rarely running at high revs so I figured it would do the very best. Mix at 50:1, runs really clean, just a nice wee ring of oil round the exhaust.

Oh yes it smells good Shuv, though nothing smells like good old castor oil. I used to run Castrol 747 in my race mini-moto and it was beautiful!

This works well with hardly a drip of spooge. It's has a lower flash point than the regular SuperTechniplate and the R50. Smells like dirt bike sex too....
