i have a 2004 sherco 290cc and on my frame it says ipone Synthesis at 2%.. So yesterday i bought this
ipone 2 stroke oil

have i got the wrong stuff with it being semi synthetic?

much help needed please

cheers

I've only ever used Castrol TTS Fully synthetic so I've not got any experience with this oil, but I only use semi synthetic in the strimmer.

[rev3]

I've run my beta rev 3 on this for the last 4 years and never had a problem.

I run it 60ml per 4 litres of fuel.

I cant say it smells of strawberry though, even though it is written on the bottle.

That stuff's fine, i've been using it for years.

phew! cheers guys now need to work out the ratio of 80:1 with 15 litres

[rev3]

about 190ml, accounting for some left in the measuring jug

I've been using it on my three previous bikes and it has done the job just fine. I get comments about the smell quite often too

I put about 65ml in a 5litre can which makes a roughly 80:1 mixture I think

Me too .... TTS needs a bit of a shake to mix in well though.

Best of balance .... even while riding the strimmer

Just divide 5000 by 65 - That's 77:1...
But I like to do it the other way round. I put 8 litres in a 10litre container of petrol and add 100ml of oil .... makes it easier for my brain

Best of balance.
