FAQs

What is the recommended fuel-to-oil ratio for Silkolene Comp 2?

Always consult your specific motorcycle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended fuel-to-oil ratio. Typical ratios for off-road motorcycles range from 25:1 to 50:1, but using the specified ratio is critical for optimal performance and engine protection.

Can I use Silkolene Comp 2 in a fuel-injected 2-stroke engine?

Silkolene Comp 2 is primarily designed as a tank mix oil for carbureted engines. It is generally not recommended for direct fuel injection systems unless explicitly approved by the engine manufacturer. Check your engine's manual for compatibility.

Is this oil suitable for vintage 2-stroke motorcycles?

While the advanced formulation offers excellent protection, it is best suited for modern competition 2-stroke engines. For very old or specific vintage engines, consult with a specialist or refer to the motorcycle manufacturer's original specifications to ensure compatibility.

How do I properly mix the oil with gasoline?

Measure the exact amount of oil required for your fuel quantity according to the recommended ratio. Pour the oil into a clean fuel container first, then add the gasoline. Seal the container and shake vigorously to ensure a complete and uniform mixture before adding it to your motorcycle's tank.

Will this oil reduce smoke compared to other 2-stroke oils?

Yes, Silkolene Comp 2 features an ash-less, synthetic blend designed for low smoke emissions and a clean burn, which is an improvement over many conventional 2-stroke oils.

What does 'ester-based' mean for an oil?

Ester-based oils are a type of synthetic lubricant known for their excellent solvency, high thermal stability, low volatility, and strong film strength, leading to superior lubrication and cleaner combustion compared to mineral oils.

Troubleshooting

Excessive smoke from exhaust

Ensure the correct fuel-to-oil ratio is being used. Too much oil can cause excessive smoke. Verify the oil is fully mixed with gasoline before adding to the tank.

Spark plug fouling

Check if the fuel-to-oil ratio is too rich or if the engine is running too cool for the application. Ensure the correct grade of gasoline is used. The Comp 2 is designed to minimize fouling, so persistent fouling may indicate other engine issues.

Engine seizure or lack of lubrication

Verify that the oil was correctly pre-mixed with gasoline at the recommended ratio. Ensure fresh gasoline is used. A seized engine can also indicate overheating or mechanical failure unrelated to the oil.

Poor engine performance

Confirm the fuel-to-oil ratio is correct and the mixture is thoroughly blended. Other factors like air filter cleanliness, carburetor tuning, or ignition issues can also cause poor performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior lubrication for high-performance engines
  • Reduces plug fouling and engine deposits
  • Protects against internal corrosion
  • Low smoke emission for cleaner operation
  • Specifically formulated for demanding off-road conditions

Cons

  • Requires pre-mixing with fuel (tank mix)
  • May be more expensive than conventional 2-stroke oils
  • Not suitable for automatic oil injection systems without specific confirmation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Silkolene Comp 2 is a tank mix oil, meaning it must be accurately pre-mixed with gasoline before being added to your motorcycle's fuel tank. Always refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended fuel-to-oil ratio. Common ratios range from 25:1 to 50:1 (gasoline to oil), but it is crucial to use the ratio specified for your specific engine.

  1. Determine the correct fuel-to-oil ratio from your motorcycle's manual.
  2. Measure the required amount of Silkolene Comp 2 using a calibrated measuring container.
  3. Pour the measured oil into a clean, approved fuel container.
  4. Add the correct amount of fresh gasoline to the container.
  5. Securely seal the container and shake vigorously to ensure thorough mixing.
  6. Pour the pre-mixed fuel into your motorcycle's fuel tank.

Compatibility:

  • Engine Type: Specifically designed for 2-stroke engines.
  • Application: Ideal for off-road competition motorcycles, including motocross, enduro, and trail bikes.
  • Fuel System: Suitable for carbureted engines requiring a premix.
  • Caution: Do not use in fuel-injected 2-stroke engines unless explicitly stated as compatible by the engine manufacturer, or in automatic oil injection systems unless confirmed suitable.

Care:

  • Store the oil in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep the container lid tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation.
  • Avoid cross-contamination with other types of oils or fuels.
  • Dispose of used oil responsibly according to local regulations.
