    1:300 ,both of them 9 and 12 but I changed to Redline racing 2T.. I posted the link above.... better results and probably cleaner than weed wacker oil. Amsoil Dominator is probably the same..

    what did you actually use? and how much? what is your engine oil also? some guys get results and some don't.

    Cooter probably cant feel a big difference because he is on a 1125, that's overhead cam, that's smooth already.
    According to everything I have been reading it makes sense as a fuel additive. I noticed it by accident before I knew that a lot of guys were already doing it.

    The thing is, why not? Adding the oil 'might' help, but I haven't seen any evidence to say it's gonna hurt. Sounds like a win to me!

    I run Stanadyne fuel additive in my diesel truck and no one thinks I'm "really, really, really, bored"? Hint: it's for lubricity too!
    My truck was built just before the change in diesel fuel in '05 to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (The sulfur is the lubricator, much like the 'lead' was in old leaded gas), so the engine was never designed to run on the new fuel.
    I can tell immediately if I forgot to put in additive (at 600ppm). More smoke, louder idle, less power, worse mileage. Once I add it, everything is back to normal. There is plenty of evidence to support that claim.

    Sound familiar? Buell engines were designed before ethanol was added to gas, and we KNOW that ethanol has MUCH less lubricity than the already stripped down gas we get. Buell never had a chance to re-design the engine or fuel system to make stuff compatible like the OE car mfg's do every year. Heck, it's fuel pump from a 1984 Mustang!:D

    Makes sense to me.

    Even without dyno 'proof' of a power increase, I'm going to keep adding it simply for my own piece of mind.
