does lead in the fuel (eg avgas) help the bearing surfaces in the motor , giving longer service life.

why does the 2002 rm125 state "do not run leaded fuel" when most race gas is leaded (like vp's popular c-12)?i know tons of people who run leaded c-12 in there new rms with the vp c-12 with no problums so why would suzuki make such a big deal as to put big warnings in the owners manuel warning not to use leaded gas ?

EPA AND pollution control. That is why suzuki specifys no lead,it will not harm a 2 stroke motor!!!!!!!!!!
