Please mention if thats per litre or per 500 ml.
Price of Jet X is not correct... dunno about others.

Read my post carefully, I've mentioned its per liter. The Jettx price is correct as per the '07 stock I usually buy. I just recently bought 2 bottles of 500ml for Rs.105 each as he had run out of the 1L bottles. Let me know if you find out the current price.Originally posted by Raccoon View Post
I have emailed Castrol India. Lets see what they have to say about the Jettx stock.Comment

Motul 800 is not recommended for city usage dude, untill and unles you have deep pockets, the 800 is quite recmmonded for big bore, ported setup's with chambers were the revving nature of the engine is say 9 to 12k rpm and where the engine is producing more heat than the stock set up. also why would one do deacarb you know what with more carbon you get more compression.Originally posted by Raccoon View Post"Engine tuning is not an exact science, but with some practice and patience you'll get comfortable with your skill and be able tune for any conditions mother nature throws at you"

Have done that. They only had the white bottle. No other 2t oil.Originally posted by psycho 98 View Post
Castrol dosen't seem to be bothered about emails. They have never replied to any of mine. No follow up from the call centre too. Very unresponsive company.Originally posted by Bladerunner View Post
Still, no harm at all in using it, if you can afford it. As for the carbon part, that may be true around the head... but what about the port and the exhaust system and all? Carbon there means reduced performance, for sure. Also, I wasn't just reffering to city use... but also highway use. And if you are doing high speed with a pillion in the summer, the engine heat itself can be a big issue.Originally posted by psycho 98 View PostLast edited by Raccoon; 04-07-2009, 03:27 PM.Comment

Is there anybody who have tried Agip synthetic 2t? I cant find Motul here in CBE. But i can find Agip.Comment

Why don't you try it and let us know? If its synthetic, it can't be that bad. How much does it cost for a liter?Originally posted by _keerthy View PostComment

for my rx100 a normal mak 2t is doing the job.i mix oil with petrol and not using the side oil tank anymore after a horrible incident which made me lose my engine.
i felt engine smoother with mak than with jettx. just my opinion though.
my bike is not modified and my mech suggests MAK for a stock setup bike.
Do we get other 2t oils in 30ml,60ml packets? would like to check those out.Bikes don't spill oil, they mark their territory.Comment

i dont know it fits here.i found this while browsing. hope this will be of some help.

I remember seeing sachets of Idemitsu and Servo (IOCL) amongst others, at an oil shop, sometime back.Originally posted by pk28.karthik View Post
Btw, have you tried Gulf 2t?
Dude, using pre-mix will gunk up your engine and exhaust faster. Also, your bike will be polluting more. More possibility of plug fouling too. Oil pumps are much more efficient...Comment

"gunk up your engine and exhaust faster"- more light onthis please.Originally posted by Raccoon View Post
i have heard mixed responses about this.
i had a bad experience with oil tank and pump. so switched to pre mix.
and regarding pollution, there is no visible smoke at all.
never tried gulf 2t but once used yamalube did not find much difference with mak.Bikes don't spill oil, they mark their territory.Comment

Gunking up of engine and exhaust will happen only if your ignition is not producing sufficient spark to fully burn the fuel-oil-air mix. I run ONLY premix and I have disconnected my autolube completely. Much safer for my engine and at 20ml per liter of fuel - very clean burning.
Of course I am using Motul 800 so YMMV with other oils...Kriss : 15.06.1981 - 11.10.2009

^^^Dude, with pre-mix, you are using the max possible 2t oil in all conditions. Fact is, you dont require that much 2t unless the engine is pushed to the limit... ie in conditions of high load and high speed. The oil pump is there because it supplies a much more realistic amount of 2t. A correctly adjusted pump means your bike will invariably consume less 2t oil than when using a pre-mix!
More oil means more pollution (wheter you can see it or not), less power, more expense, more chance of fouling your plug, and more deposits in your engine and exhaust system.
All the above problems are addressed by a good oil pump. Probably someone screwed up your pump or its feed lines (maybe your mechanic?) or something else went wrong... but generally they are quite reliable. Did you try to find out what went wrong with the pump, btw? I'd suggest you fix or replace it. Yamaha put that pump there for a good reason!

Complete (or "full" as you mentioned) combustion does not happen in our engines.... and most definitely not in 2 stroke engines!!Originally posted by gsferrari View Post
Anyway, you are using an Easter based oil which will burn much cleaner than the oil pk28.karthik is using. Even in your case, you would have to buy less of that very expensive Motul oil if you use a pump!Comment

Nope...it doesn't. But I'd really much rather protect my engine than depend on a 20+ year old mechanical pump to function properly. Even on the TZR I play to run 20ml premix with 20ml max coming out of the pump. Worst case...I limp home with a un-shagged motor.
The trouble with autolube is that it works well...and fails horribly!Kriss : 15.06.1981 - 11.10.2009
