Castrol 2 Stroke oil

#1 Post by T.C. » Tue May 14, 2013 12:18 pm

If anyone is using Castrol 2 stroke oil, beware there has been a product recall due to contamination http://www.castrolmoto.com/en/recall.php?recall

Been a long time since I had a two stroke.
I loved the smell of Castrol A545.... :smt118

Probably the same for most of us here.

Reason I posted it though is because if anyone has youngsters on Mopeds and the like, many of which are still 2 stroke, then it may be relevant and helpful to them.

My stroker has been in the shed for years. And I never considered it worthy of Castrol anyway.

Yes I understand TC. I use Yamaha low smoke 2 stroke oil in the LT50 and the PW50.
The heads up is good info :smt002

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
