Fuel And Oil Recommendation - Suzuki RM 250 2003 Owner's Service Manual

1-8 GENERAL INFORMATION

FUEL AND OIL RECOMMENDATION

This motorcycle is of the two-stroke design, which requires a
premixture of gasoline and oil.
Gasoline: Use only unleaded gasoline of at least 90
pump octane (R/2 + M/2). .... For Canada
Use only unleaded gasoline of at least 95
octane (Research Method). .... For other
countries
Engine oil: MOTUL 800 2T FACTORY LINE OFF
ROAD or an equivalent Two Cycle Racing
Lubricant.
Mixing ratio: 30 : 1
Fuel tank capacity: 8.0 L (2.1/1.8 US/lmp gal)
A mixture containing too little oil will cause piston sei-
zure. Too much oil will cause excessive carbon forma-
tion resulting in preignition, fouled spark plug and
loss of engine power.
Mix fuel and the engine oil at the ratio of 30:1.
NOTE:
* Mix gasoline and the engine oil thoroughly when the tempera-
ture is below 0 °C (32 °F). Vegetable-based oils can separate
easier than mineral oils.
* Use premixture oil as soon as possible after mixing, or lubrica-
tion performance of the engine oil can decrease.
* Do not mix vegetable-based oil and mineral oil.
