2 stroke dirtbike motor oil

[dirtbike&quad]

where do you guys get your oil from? do you buy it offline? whats cheaper? online or locally?
thanks

[Aceman]

Well, it definitely doesn't pay to buy oil online if that's all you need with the shipping charges added on. Myself, I'll throw it on a Rocky Mountain order when I'm trying to get the $100 free shipping. The Honda store in town only carries Bel-Ray and I run Klotz, so I don't really have a choice though.

[dirtbike&quad]

yea i bought one now to make sure thats what the problem is. i just bogged out so im assuming i fouled a plug...but yea im gonna get a spark plug and if thats the problem ill have my moms friend get more. she gets 30% off so i get them for 4.25 which is cheap

[ZeroLogic]

Get atleast six plugs.:chinese:

[dirtbike&quad]

lol yea i plan on carrying 2 with me and a plyer everytime i go ride just incase...


i put the plug in and still no luck starting her up so im gonna let it sit for a little. maybe i flooded it? donno...

[ZeroLogic]

Is your fuel on? Is she getting a spark and gas? Is your air filter clean?

Klotz doesn't recommend mixing at 50:1.

Another reason to be careful taking advice off the internet, you really never know if the person posting knows WTF they're really talking about.

[dirtbike&quad]

yea im def not going 50:1 so no worries.


but my bike wont start. everything is rebuilt...


i was just riding down a trail and it bogged down and i figured i fouled a plug. sooooo....


anyone know wtf happened??????

[mitch91]

Carb, i had a little problem with the float sticking, dont hold the throttle steady for to long on a 2 stroke.

Wtf, i used to run 20 ;1 on my cr85, ran ffine. Fouled mabe 10 plugs in 2 years.

20:1 is idk...but ill have john berg take a look at it

[Scott-300ex]

It depends wut type of oil you run for you ratio

Like I know a LOT of guys that run 50:1 with amsoil, then I know guys that run 20:1 with Honda oil.

[dirtbike&quad]

situation: bike bogs down while riding
checked: spark, gas, fuel is on, it is rebuilt.

carbs dirty? what do you think?


spark plug is brand new

or just rejet it and never foul one again.


I wouldn't go any leaner of a mix than 44:1. Even that is kinda lean unless you don't really get on it. I stick to my 32:1. Good lubrication and it's better to be with a little more oil than not enough. I'm kinda stumped on your whole little bike not starting thing. If it's rebuilt you should have good compression, you said it's getting spark, and it's getting fuel. If anything I'd say a carb problem of some sort.
