yes knowing that your putting something into your tank that is made for the rotary just gives you that little bit of assurance.

got some polaris?? 2 stroke oil and some honda one.

there vvas something on here saying someone having better experience using the 2 stroke vvithout a colored dye, and in vvhich case, i think the honda motorcycle 2 stroke may be better. it is clear and similar to idemitsu being colorless, and containing petroleum distillates... but there is vvhere i can find the only similarities betvveen them.

reason i got some polaris brand is... they smell good! as stated on the bottle to give a better exhaust scent, for those that just can't handle a ravv smell.

and some honda 2 stroke vvas nearby and cheap.

back to idemitsu after.

premix religions are a PITA!

before I was using Idemitsu premix to feed the OMP adaptor but later switched to royal purple since it's locally available at the BX on base and on the other auto parts store off base.

I noticed that nobody else is using RP 2 cycle oil on here...

Ordered a gallon of FP Plus... Shipping was almost the price of jug!

Now if Mazdatrix would only reply to their e-mails and give me a shipping quote for a case of Indemitsu...

I'm gonna replace my pump (96k on it) soon before I hit the track heavy and I am curious if this short period of premixing will be evident.

Idemitsu. Price isn't bad, and they deliver it right to your front door. Thank you to the good people at Mazdatrix.

Where are you shipping to??? I thought shipping was kind of high so I ordered 2 gallons and shipping was less per gallon. Plus they gave us a 10% discount that is still in effect.
