    but apparently its not good for an air cooled 2 stroke to run premixed

    nah fuck that id ride round with a fuel can to make sure it mixes well id never just pore oil into the fuel tank if it isnt mixed right wont the oil just sit on top of the fuel yeh shaking the bike might do a bit but nothing like shacking the feck out of it in a fuel can

    ? it mixes before it hits the engine in the carb so its always pre mixed on air or liquid cooled engines

    nah sorry bud i think the whole oil thing is a con yeh id never use £2 wilkinsons oil i use £8 shell oil and in my mx bike i use the same stuff but i just think oil is oil it all has to meet certain standards and plenty of peaple run the bikes on cheap oil for years without changing piston rings and never have a prob but then you get lads who run £20 oil and they end up on forums asking why is my engine fecked it makes you think just cos its more pricey is it really better

    1 cheap oil leaves residue
    2 under preassure it thickens and thins when it runing cold and dosent lubricate as good
    3 it Will make your engine last longer
    4 you Cant run a highperfomence kit on shit oil ..it wont last long ..
    5 if you dont use the oil it will turn into a gel as the petrolium evaporates and will float to the top of your tank

    i use shell sx in the ped which is semi synthetic and shell ultra in the kx cos its fully synthetic as the barrel on the kx is a pain if you get a problem as fixing them is getting harder as they get older
