November 4, 200718 yr Hi just got a different bike and it has about just under a full tank of fuel. The mixture is blue in colour. Bit of a stupid question I know.........But would anyone know what this make of two stroke oil maybe? I want to stick with the same one as I found my bike does not take to TTS. Thanks in advance WRC Edited November 4, 200718 yr by WRC
November 5, 200718 yr Author Thanks for the help. Do you tend to use the smokeless/low smoke type, fully synthetic? Thanks
November 5, 200718 yr I want to stick with the same one as I found my bike does not take to TTS. can you explain this further, i thought TTS was one of the best out there?
November 5, 200718 yr Author I want to stick with the same one as I found my bike does not take to TTS. can you explain this further, i thought TTS was one of the best out there? The bike seemed to be sluggish, wasnt running right, a little rich at 1:60. I mixed it in with the blue stuff, hence thats why i'm asking the question to get the original oil.
November 5, 200718 yr if you were using TTS before then i should stick to what you know. i dont like mixing brands of oil , so i would drain the tank and clean the carb out and start with a fresh mix. 60 to 1 sounds a rich mix anyway i would have thought that 70 to 1 would be fine, but i dont run a sherco. i personally use the pj1 silverline stuff in my trials bike and TTS in the trail bike (autolube), this always seems ok to me.
November 5, 200718 yr Honda HP2 is blue and it has anti-carbing additives, I've used it for 15years and have had no problems will loading up and I have never had to clean a tail pipe.
November 5, 200718 yr Doesn't the blue Putoline smell like strawberries? Personally, I use 75ml of Castrol TTS in 5 litres of super unleaded with an Iridium plug in my 06 Rev 3. Edited November 5, 200718 yr by GWREV3

Modern synthetics don't need those heavy ratios.

Yes drained it out and have put in a mix at 70:1................it clears out nice..............did a trial today and the bike was great. Cheers bud WRC
