Hi folks

I'm new to trials bikes and so would like to ask what is probaly a silly question, basically which is the best oil to mix with my petrol ? I have a Gasgas JTX 250 which I am currently using petrol mixed with 2 stroke oil for my chainsaws etc

thank you in advance for your answers

Hi

This is a frequently asked question, and one with a number of opinions.

I suggest using a competition premix specific 2 stroke oil availale from a number of manufacturers (silkolene, Putoline, Shell, Motul etc. etc.)

I personaly use Putoline MX5 because many shops / vendors at tracks sell it.

Other friends use Silkoline Comp2 pre-mix etc.

I use Fully Synthetic so that i feel comforatable using the higher dilution rates (70:1)and also a

I have a Gasgas JTX 250 which I am currently using petrol mixed with 2 stroke oil for my chainsaws etc

I also use the same oil in my bike as I do my chainsaws.....but I use a fully synthetic esther based oil in both. I use the Maxima K2 oil mixed at 50:1 for my chainsaws and yard equipment - and mixed at 80:1 in my Sherco 290.

I believe that any good quality full synthetic oil would be fine - just avoid the oil made for outboard motors and general purpose 2 cycle engines.

Thank you for your help, I'll go get some fully synthetic 2 stroke tomorrow, would Halfords do the Putoline ?

Halfords supply this which will be ok.

I know it says up to 50:1, people run upto 80:1 and these higher dilutions are recommended by the importers themselves.
