What oil do i use??

[outlawgrafyx]

on my 73 yamaha DT250, it is oil injected, the oil tank is filled but what oil should i use when it runs out, just regular 2 stroke oil, or is it some kind of special stuff i would have to buy??

I would buy a good quality 2 stroke oil dont use the cheap stuff they use in chainsaws or weedwackers. Im sure someone else will chime in with their preferred oil.

hey outlaw I just realized you are in Gilbert also. Where abouts. I am in the process of restoring my 72 DT250 to ride with my friend who has a 75DT we should get together and ride. If you need help on your bike let me know. Im in the area of Greenfield and Guadalupe.

Get the stuff that says made for oil injection. I think it pours easier so it will flow to your pump a bit easier. Yamaha makes some for your bike that's designed for the oil injected models, it works just fine.

You'd only be trying until the piston welded itself to the cylinder...

:yikes:
