For a guy that has never tried Opti-2 in any of your bikes you are quite the expert on it! LOL
Nothing quite like a little real world experience!

PS: please use some punctuation, capitalization and a few more
words as most of your posts hurt my head trying to figure out what you said???

You sold who an engine that you mixed with opti??? lol You is confused...

PPS: There is a edit button too so you don't need to make a new post
every time a new thought pops into your head. lol

5 x 1.6 oz = 8 oz

128 oz / 1.6 oz = 80 to 1

128 oz / 1.28 oz = 100 to 1

Opti-2 oil pouches are 1.8 oz so they need to be mixed with 1.3 gallons to make 100 to 1 mix.

i ain't hatin'...:)

seriously, though. you should try Opti. you just don't know what you're missing.
 
That motor that blew was purchased with all that carbon on it mo matter how hard I tried the carbon would not come off. The owner said that there was only 100 miles on the motor but i think there was way more.
 
Thanks jim and everyone else for the re-jetting info i never thought to check back this thread cause i looked for about 2 weeks and no one responded so i didnt think there was gonna be any one responding.
 
Got the jug off the piston finall looks like the rings failed. Dont kno why but there is definnetly enough oil and lubrication from the opti in there.
 
If the needle/pin bearing on the crank journal failed like mine did on an engine it will cause the problems you have, mine failed and a piece of the bearing broke off and made it to the top of the piston , it bounced around up ther efor a bit and then hung betwen the piston and the transfer port and the rest is history as was that jug, piston, crank & rod.

my engine had about 30 miles on it when that happened, I may be to blame for running it 4-5 miles WOT on a 70:1 mix that WAS NOT Opti 2 and probably should have been mixed @ 32 or 40:1, new tight engine NOT enough lube, WOT several MILES, receipe for disaster on mine......completely rebuilt it and got 420 miles out of it before another lower end issue put it on the shelf.

I have another engine running on the same mix of OPTI 2 runs like a scalded ape and has 1180 miles on itstill runs like a new engine after break in.

No matter the dealer or so called engine brand we still roll the dice on these things IMHO...

Best wishes

Peace
 
I have 2 new motors I am going to run one with opti from the start and the other one with the other stuff since it isn't completely new and want to keep running the oil that it started with in it.
