Best 2 stroke oil for NSR

[Danny]

Hi

What 2-stroke oil would you guys recommend for a Honda NSR (2001) Also what chain lube is good for that bike? I've got that J&S one, but it flies off


Thx,


Danny

Castrol TTS is good but the most expensive from £8.99 -£11.00 depending on the shop!
What j&s oil u got?

[Robby]

Castrol TTS for 2 stroke oil, whatever you want for chain lube, if it flies off your probly overlubing, or spinning the wheel round too fast when you spray it on. Try castrol chain wax if you want non fling. Halfords sell it.

[Danny]

I got the 'Doctor bike' Heavy duty chain lub

[McJamweasel]

Apart from the mess it leaves on your wheel having the lube fling off aint a bad thing. As it goes itll also take grit etc with it. Just make sure you do lube it often tho, cos you dont want it buggereing up like mine did and havng the teeth of the front sprocket.

Well the guy I bought the bike off managed to wear the chain down in one year and he only did 3000 miles in that year. So I have to replace the chain and the sprockets My sprockets are so pointy that you could use them as those ninja Frisbee weapons

[McJamweasel]

Well I managed to do this to my sprocket in less than a year, although I probably did more than 3000.

Best 2-stroke oil I've found is Mobil 1 2-stroke racing oil. Available at most Esso petrol stations

Worst oil I've tried is Halfords 2-stroke not good

Hey McJamweasel that is pritty bad, did u drive everyday through a sandy beach or something?

[McJamweasel]

No, just most days for 4 months(ish) without lubing it. Then one day the teeth all snapped off. That was not fun!

An update on the 2 stroke thing. Ive just been and bought some today, I was getting Silkolene Comp2 Plus fully synth. The bloke behind the counter told me not to bother on a 125. He reckons that the semi-synth stuff is ok so thats what I bought. Saved me £4 as well. BTW, this bloke does know what hes talking about as well.

I only ever used Castrol TTS in my scooter.

As for chain lube, I have Holts (which i like) and Harley Davidson chain lube (which I use for lubing cables etc)

[McJamweasel]

TTS is a bit of overkill on a scooter. Cheap of the cheap stuff would be good enough for them cos of the lack of tuning. The bod I spoke to today reckons that TTS/Comp2+ are really more for the 250(+) strokers. He said that he even ran his KR1S on the semi synth for a while with no probs.

Right

So all of you that own NSR's or did own, what oil do you guys use
Input from non-NSR drivers is still welcomed
Oh another quick question, i currently am using the Castrol scooter oil which is semi-synth, is it all right to pour in the TTS (fully-synth) with the old oil still inside

[Kickstart]

Hi

I tend to use Comp 2 on the RS125, which some claim isnt a proper fully synthetic 2 squeak oil (I think it claims to be synthetic based).

The time I got the best ever top speed out of the RS was running on TTS. Whether that had anything to do with it or not I am not sure.

If you use better oils then the engine will last longer. On my old AF1 Futura I used semi synthetic oils. When I sold it the engine needed new main bearings (they would have lasted another couple of thousand km), and the RS has already lasted longer without the mains going. However, looking at it one way the savings on 2 stroke oil probably paid for the main bearings (I traded the bike into a dealer, and part of the deal was I dropped the engine out and took it into him, and he did the main bearings, then I put the engine back in again).

As to what engines the 2 squeak oils are intended for, I dont think the engine size is that important. More the state of tune and the specs of the various parts of the engine. The RS is putting out something like 230bhp/l, which is a fairly high state of tune

All the best

Keith

always use fully syntetic...


i use motul 600, only cus i got it free... otherwise its £10

[Danny]

free How do you get it free

Here i am paying like a sucker and your getting it free

[Ste]

im running some Q8 oil stuff right now, i got a big 4 litre thing of it for about £35. fully synch.

halford stuff is crap

tj works in a bike shop danny

danny, just fill it up with new stuff, you cant drain it and then put new stuff in, cos that would have to run it dry to do that, which is very bad

[Danny]

Thx for the info.
I'll do that once i get back on the road, i've still got this cold/flu/anthrax thing. Hopefully i'll be back on the road tomorow, then again that is what i said yesterday

[Ste]

damn anthrax

could be stuck with that one for a whole though

where u from then danny?

[Danny]

Speaking of running the oil dry, i did that once
The first day i took it into college, i go 2 drive home(this was that thrusday with all the snow a month back) and the thing keeps dying so i kept the revs up and drove away only got 200m and flooded the engine. I thought i was a sign from the Gods not to drive in this snow storm.
I picked it up in the morning when the low oil light finaly came on.
I think they should re-name that light as the 'you've already run out of oil 200m down the road' light

Anyway i supose the moral of the story is check the bike over esp oil when you've just bought it.

So far i have not noticed any ill effects from doing that, so far

[Danny]

Well i live in London, Wimbledon. By family is originally from a small city in the south of Poland.

[Ste]

your fucking lucky the piston didnt go bang running dry of oil
