I think once WS showed up, bw took his oil and went homeWhere the heck is Bwalker........ I hate to say it but I am starting to miss him in an odd nostalgic kinda way....

His dickydo. Lol
No, just been busy with work. Carry on..I think once WS showed up, bw took his oil and went home
Never knew they had an actual KK retail locations, always saw them at gas stations, Krogers and such.
800 has a a really high ash content for a two cycle oil, meaning that it has alot of zinc and calcium antiwear/detergent additives. While at face value this sounds like a good thing, mettalic ash is what causes plug fouling and pre ignition causing deposits.

Redbull -
Sir, couple more...
1) Is that because the lower viscosity of 710 having less film strength? ("Running the 710 at a ratio of 32:1 will not offer more protection than the 800 at 50:1.")
2) I know it says "above exising standards" but is 800 off road actually Jaso -FD certified? If not, why ?
3) Wouldn't checking your plug - just tell you if your tunning was incorrect?
4) I've heard that the metallics in 800 off road can lead to build up and would cause a great ignition source for pre ignition. Have you heard of this happening? Could you talk about the metallics in 800 off road? No offense intended. It's heresay I understand. I'm just concerned.
5) Do you think that the ported saw would require a heavier mix ratio? If so, why? If not, why?
6) If I run 800 too rich say between 25-32:1 what is going to happen to my saw (generally speaking) I'm thinking the excess oil would impead the piston movement some not allowing for max/optimal RPMs, and there would be some unburnt deposit build up
------------------------------------
Motul Response:
1) The 800 is more protective because it is an Ester based product.
2) Technically the 800 is not JASO certified. It is not JASO certified because it is designed as a racing product thus it is not required to be JASO certified.
3) The mixture of premix is part of your tuning. The color of your plug will tell you if the premix is too rich, lean or perfect for the engine.
4) I am not sure where you heard that from, but that statement is false. 800 offroad is one of the cleanest burning premixes out there. Being an ester based product there is very little metallics in the product. Everyone that has used this product for chainsaws can't say enough about how clean their engines are after use.
5) I do not think that your ported saw will require a heavier mix ratio. Refer to the color of your plug for this information
6) Generally speaking like all two stroke engines a heavier mixture will make run sluggish and spew oil out of the exhaust.

Just spoke with a Motul Rep. He recommended 800 off-road or road racing for my ported 660. He didn't recommend 710 but stated if I wanted to try 710 use only at 32:1. It's only 75% oil! He also said 800 could be mixed at 40:1 with sufficient lubrication. Guess the other Motul guy I talked to was a sales rep. I asked about the JASO rating of 800. He said any oil made stricly for racing isn't JASO required but it would exceed FD certification. Using 800 or R50 I don't think we'll ever have a lubrication or wear issue.
Again your completley wrong..
Ash refers to the amount of mettalic ash when reacting an oil sample with sulfuric acid... It has nothing to do with smoke.
JASO puts a limit on ash and there is no way 800t would meet jaso-FD because it's ash content is through the roof.
What do you guys see weird here???
Maxima Super M Injector, exceed BIA/TCW, JASO-FC, ISO-E-GD and API TC.
Mobil1 MX2T, exceed JASO-FC, Proposed ISO-L-EGD, API TC.
Motorex CrossPower 2T, JASO FC, ISO-L-EGD, ISO-Global GC, API TC, Low Smoke.
Motul 800 Factory Line Road Racing 2T double ester, API TC.

I have not seen a VOA for K2. Motul 800 dies have sky high mettalic content for both versions from the VOA'S I have seen.Again rep saying should exceed FD and he could be bias. You saying not a chance. I do accept the zinc content is high on Road Racing. Is the off road as high? Have you seen the analysis sheet?
Have you seen the K2 analysis sheet? I'm assuming it's lower as with the FD rating it has, but i hate assuming.
