Hey, im putting a flying horse engine on a cruiser and was wondering if you guys thought either of these would be good break in oils.

Red Line 40603 Two Stroke Racing Oil - 16 oz.:

Royal Purple Synthetic Two Cycle Motor:

people seem to talk about them a lot as post break in oils but i cant conclude weather theyd be good enough for the first 10 hours.

thanks.

pretty much any oil will work for break in.

i use Opti2 at 100:1 from day one, and it works great. there's a few threads about it already, so i'm not gonna bother extolling all it's virtues here. it's a great controversial subject.

these bikes will run on any oil, it's just a matter of how well.

my advice is, whatever oil you choose, stick with it for the life of the engine.
