[QUOTE="zero_it, post: 1128236, member: 18548"] Sorry to say I've run that crap. Back in 1994 I ran it for a very short time in a '93 RMX 250. Prior to that I had been running Golden Spectro at 50:1. That was a fairly dirty oil and I was looking for something that would run cleaner. I hooked up with the Royal Purple rep at a trade show and he sent me a case of their 2-stroke oil to try out. I mixed it at 50:1, completely drained my tank & carb of the Spectro, fueled up with the Royal Purple mix and went riding. The temperature was in the 30's with a little snow on the ground, which never bothered me or my bike before. In 10 miles I fouled 3 spark plugs and bee-lined it back home before I ran out of new plugs in my fanny pack. I talked it over with Royal Purple and they said I needed to lean out the fuel mixture when running in ambient temperatures less than 40 degrees, he suggested trying 70:1. I called BS, there's no way I'm going to mix special gas for different weather. The next weekend it was a bit warmer and the Royal Purple didn't jinx me. The following weekend was a local enduro. I fouled two plugs in the first 35 mile loop. At the gas stop I drained the gas, bummed some 50:1 Spectro mix, gassed up and finished the next 40 miles no problem. The next weekend I switched to Maxima 2-stroke oil and never looked back. The rest of the Royal Purple has been burned in brush piles over the years. [/QUOTE]
