    Hi, I have an Aprilia RS 125, and the bloke I bought it off said he had just been using cheap 2t oil. I know that the rs needs good oil so I was wondering.. there is still cheap oil in the bike, would I be able to put a good quality semi synthetic or synthetic 2t oil in with it?
    Thanks, Grant.

    USULY it's ok to mix the two, i have actually had one type emulsify with another before now. i would reccomend draiing the tank then putting fresh in if you know how or at least running very low before you top up with fresh. its unlikely it will cause a problem mixing the two though.
