    Hi Guy,
    to be honest i don't know what oil is in the blade at the moment, I bought it track ready and have done 4 days, each day topping up the oil.

    I usually use something like Silkolene Pro 4 10-40 in my bikes.

    cheers mark

    The Silkolene Pro 4 is very good stuff, if you are happy with it I would stick with it.

    The oil usage could be down the oil that was already in there when you purchased the bike. I would suggest an oil change to something you are familiar with such as the Pro 4 and monitor the usage.

    Silkolene BOA 90 LS High Performance Gear And Limited Slip Differential Oil

    Cheers

    Guy

    Hi

    Here are some good oils for that.

    http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-502-2-stroke-engine-oils.aspx

    It's difficult to say which one is best for you. If the bike gets used hard or you want the best, go for Silkolene Pro 2 or Comp 2, Castrol Power 1 Racing, the Motul 710 or 800, Millers CFS, or the Castrol Power 1 Racing. Otherwise, Silkolene Super 2, Motul 100 or 510, Castrol Act Evo or Shell Advance will be absolutely fine.

    Cheers

    Tim
