Maybe in states like Mexifornia 2 stroke bans might happen, which is just another reason to my very long list why I'll never live in that state, or others like it.

You better post a "Save the 2 stroke" thread in every known internet forum then.

Owell, guess I'd better enjoy my Baja before the feds take it away from me then.

I just bought my 5t yesterday, haven't even fired it up yet. Should I use the HPI oil that comes with it for the first break in tank or go straight to a better synthetic oil?

Very little smoke.

Not only is there very little smoke, even better this oil does not leave black soot and deposits in your engine. I have been using this in my 1/5 on road with no signs of wear after a couple of gallons. I didn't even use the HPI oil in my Baja, I just broke her in with the Castrol, I am however going to stick with 25:1 in the Baja rather than the 32:1 that I use on road. I know a few moto cross riders that swear by it so I figured it's good enough for a weedwacker type engine.

use the included oil, mix it in 1/2 gallon of gas. run it thru, then jump into the synths.

the hpi oil is a Dino (old style full castor) oil, and is very good for seating the ring quick.
