$2100 plus dealer pileons... blu/yeller and this fine 9 is to be my only ride soon, so im trying to breaker in nice an mellow. Then i want to let her out of the stable abit without marring any reliability. Theres got to be one easy mod to give me just alittle push without tipping her scale in the least. Anyway im glad shes mine and im stoked you guys are here and over at Invasion... moto gp 50s unite... lol

cool man. i love my s9. want a s8 150 next. :o
-
btw... the dealer was pushing yamalube but after checking the forums and such, im trying the motul 710 which is some good rot... did i mess up by leaving alittle yama in there and pouring the motul over it? .. im thinking not--- we dont want any tummy-aches here...

i use yamalube 2R (cause there is a yamaha shop across the highway from me). 2nd bottle, so far its been good. no blue smoke.

You're likely to get a LOT of different opinions on oil. I use AMSOIL Interceptor. Yamalube is okay, but there is much better stuff out there. Klotz, Blue-Ray, Amsoil, Motul (which I have used heavily in the past, works great!) and more!
You can get the Super 9 to do some pretty cool things and still be reliable. :) I'm surprised they let a 2-stroke into California.

It is interesting that most oils mentioned on this site are not sold in Europe.
Here you can get Valvoline, Selenia, Castrol, Mobil etc... also a lot of no-name brands...

All the MAJOR players do a god job! I have always used synth!There is one exception however... about 5 months ago I posted " Died out on the road" . My '04 zx/50 is HEAVILY modified (gets about 39-45 mpg) and I ran out of oil 2t. I stopped at a local gas/ beer/ sunglasses shop, and picked up a 1/2 pint bottle of 2t oil w/ a pict. of a lawn mower on the bottle. ($3.25) . I continued to run approx 3-4 days, until my post...The end result was a hole in the top of the piston that was NOT visable from the top. I spent several $/days looking at EVERYTHING else. If you go back to that post it will show everything. I eventually decided to pull the engine to paint the scoot, and as long as it was out i figured I would pull the cyl. to heat it in the oven (so as to wrinkle paint it), and as long as the cyl was off i pulled the piston for safe storage, and there it was. From the bottom of the pist. you could see a dime size spot of brand new shiny aluminum, dead center. I tried to fill the piston w/ gas (upside down), and it came running out like a shower head. Bottom line is,l if you are running a stock scoot most oils will work- If you mod...KEEP YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW!!!

That lawn mower thing was probably the cheapest mineral oil used in "old-skool" machines like saws and lawn mowers... we have that kind of oils here and they are used in 20-30 year old air cooled 2T mopeds without problems, but if you put them into new scooters, probably the same would happen... when I had 2stroke scooter I always used either fully synthetic of good quality semis.... my ex. NRG had 72 cc kit and revved over 11.500 rpm...
