Availability of 2 stroke oil

[cat]

Support your local motorcycle shop, and by it in 4 litre cans. Premixers can always carry enough in a small bottle on the bike.

Yes. I get Motul 2T oil at a Yamaha dealer, and they also have Yamaha two-stroke oil. Any Yamaha dealer would have it, for two-stroke MX bikes.

my dad had i think a bsa that you started on gasoline and switched to paraffin
but he just ran it all the time on gasoline as paraffin was only sold at 1 station in town and it was not cheaper than gas

I keep paraffin for cleaning parts. I buy it in 5 litre cans at makro or i could get 750 ml bottles at the supermarket, they have it for paraffin stoves. (Africa.)

Stihl chainsaw oil is good; if you go to a ...'suitable supplier', you can get it in big cans. Many people use it in two-strokes like KTM 200 EXC; 50:1, no problems.

why not try Valvoline 2 stroke oil? I have used it for years in my Yamaha TY250a trials bike. Only recently Ive replaced the piston and the old one has no score marks at all! and all this after being used as a trials comp bike and a trailbike after 28 years. The barrel is off for the 3rd time since I bought it way back when. I just pay attention to the air filter and makecsure the oil/fuel mix is fresh.

seems to be stocked here in the USA at service stations in the displays for car lamps
and for the fellows with the weed eater mowers and in my area the chain saws
only thing 2 stroke on the road here is once in a while a dual sport trail bike
or "rick N billy"
