A while ago I had purchased a pumped up 2 stroke Yamaha (1985 RZ350)

only lube that wouldn't coke up on the reeds and turn them into a
sticky mess. This causes the bikes to run with too little lube which
causes piston rings to overheat and break. It can also crack the
cylinders right into the water jackets. He went through two cylinder
bores before he learned.

I do quite a bit of dirtbiking. Out there I'm a known helper and I
bring lots of tools. Whenever I see a guy with a 2 stroke Yamaha that
either won't start or runs like crap, I ask him what oil he runs. 90%
of the time they're *not* running Yamalube.

Odd my T-500 ran just about everything BUT castor oil (because it wont run
through the injectors) No Yamalube or oils bought at bike shops... Never a
problem with the pump working. Granted many years later it shit the #1 cylinder
due to my NOT keeping up on scheduled top end maintence. Plead being a dumb
teenager when it happened and am still semi-shocked that just by listening to it
run when dad came home I knew a) what was wrong and b) which cylinder was toast.

History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational
basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the
unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and
spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from
fiddling with it.

I've had a number of Yamaha 2-strokes, and the only Yamalube they saw was
that which came from the factory.  I've always used Castrol, also used it on
Ski-Doo snowmobile with oil injector.

That sounds like sales talk to me.  I've had every trouble there is, but
none of it involved using the "wrong" oil.
