[QUOTE="bmcd308, post: 1254931, member: 75369"] I think it will be fine. That is a pretty short trip. Listen to the cautionary posts above, and avoid chopping the throttle to decel the way you would in a car or on a road bike. Keep it a little rich on the pilot and don't crank the air screw out very far. The problem with road riding and a 2T is that the road offers lots of opportunities to get the motor to high rpm then chop the throttle, such as accelerating from corner to corner. The motor stays at high rpm for a while due to your momentum, but very little oil (remember the only source of oil is the fuel oil mix) is getting to the motor. Oil injected 2Ts are better about this, as the amount of oil injected also depends on rpm, not just throttle position. This also happens on long fast downhills. [/QUOTE]
