I am going to send off oil from my MX bik. It is 2 stroke. I am a few weekd from doing the UOA. I have never done it on anythig but my car. should be intisting. The oill is i the gearbox only since it is 2 stroke. The piston and crank oil is in the fuel. It is a wet clutch system and the motor oil is just gearbox oil. Like a manual gear box in a car. I run a 10W-30 or 40 oil in the gear box by the way.
Here is the question. People say change the oil every ride, or every 3 hours or every 2 rides. I just don't get that. A 5MT in a car lasts a long time and so does the gear oil in a street bike. I can not see how it needs to be changed so frequently. Since the oil does not lubricate the rod bearings I would suspect even less wear.
Can anybody shed some light here or has anyone done a UOA on a 2 stroke dirt bike? How cann the gears need to oil chnges every few hours? I'll post my results in th UOA when I get them?
