The DA 50 on my SBach is a long way past the break-in point. From the manual:

"After the break-in process, we recommend a high quality synthetic oil. As for brand
of oil, there are many good ones on the market. Some oils, and their mix ratios, that
Desert Aircraft recommends are: Amsoil 100:1 Pre-Mix (100 to 1), Amsoil Saber
Professional (100 to 1), Amsoil 2000 (50 to 1), Red-line (40 to 1), Bel-Ray H1-R (50 to
1). Mobil MX2T (32 to 1) These oils can be found at most motorcycle shops."

It was my intention to go with the 100:1 mix, specifically with AMSOIL Saber Professional Synthetic 100 to 1 2-stroke premix. I mentioned this at a club meeting a while back and a couple of fellow members expressed concerns that 100:1 wouldn't provide sufficient lubrication. I asked why DA would put it in the manual but didn't get a satisfactory response.

Do you think 100:1 is enough and, if not, can you explain why DA might have put it in the manual?


Cheers!
