[QUOTE="Spud, post: 1339260, member: 17601"] Since it's Friday, let's morph this into an oil thread. I used to use only Mobil MX2T and would mix it 40:1. My brother in law is a die hard Honda guy. He'd run the Honda stuff 32:1. First year he told me big mistake I was going to burn up my motor. My bike would smoke less and seemed to run leaner. When we'd tear them down, there was no difference in wear. And let me tell you, riding nothing but sand dunes tortures a motor--full throttle a lot of the day. Despite the empirical evidence, he always stuck with Honda oil, mixed it richer, spent more money, made more smoke, and never got any increased reliability. Appears MX2T has gone the way of the dodo now... [/QUOTE]
