Ask the ones that aren't having problems. I bet 90% of them aren't
running Yamalube either. ;-)

Motorcycle oils are for wishful thinkers and Motor oil dealers who make
claims to sell an over-priced unnecessary grade products.
Expensive "Motorcycle Oils" are really only made to do one thing,
make money!

You're probably right. My year-old Hyosung 50cc 2-stroke came with
Blue Marble oil already in the reservoir. The Canadian Hyosung
distributor, National Motorsports, also distributes Blue Marble.
I was told to keep using Blue Marble oil to keep the warranty in
force. So far I've used 2 litres of the oil in 2500 km. Little smoke,
no smell and the bike runs great. But hardware store 2-stroke like
used for my Lawnboy would probably be ok too, who knows?
