Hi all , just got a 175 Yammy trials and the guy said he uses silcolean 2 stroke oil at 50 to one would this ratio be right and do I need the standard 2 stroke oil of silcolean?

Thanks for any Imput John.

nothing wrong with silkolene, but I do use it at 40:1 on air cooled bikes (without any problems or smoke)

Thank you Suzuki 250'

Cheers.

I use Morris fully synthetic MX two stroke oil at 40 to one in the trials bikes and 30:1 in the race bikes, never had a plug whisker. Doesn't smoke like the old days but always a good coating of oil when I strip the motors.

Thanks Spen, that will do for me then @ 40to one.

Just mention did have in the seventy/80s a 350 clubmans Goldie dbd with lots of Taylor bits on it had to sell it when I went bust!!!!

Remember getting £1000.00 For it , Doh!

Cheers

If we kept all the bikes we'd sold, given away, broken, et cetera we'd be rich men.

Here's some of what I get up to..... www.spencerracing.co.uk

I consulted Silkolene and they said 50 to 1 unless using in sand etc where a bit more was recommended due to the motor working harder. Semi synthetic.

Oils are much better now than when we ran 50 to 1 thirty years ago.

We used to run around 20:1 in the old days...... Like bloody treacle..

The amount of oil depends on how your using the engine.

Classic air cooled race bike steel liner 20:1 on R.

Modern watercooled race bike plated barrel 30:1 semi.

We used to run our TY175 at 50:1 synthetic.

My Fantic, air cooled plated barrel 70:1 synthetic.

To be honest I think you could probably run a TY with a less oil than a 50:1 mix but in all the time we ran the TY we never had a problem at 50:1.
