Advantages: It has a nice filler cap which avoids spills when filling up your bike with oil. Disadvantages: Can`t compete wih Shell`s cheaper alternatives. My sylinder was scored thanks to this oil
...and blended it with 3% Castrol TTS so the engine should run much richer than when it was raining so I am allmost positive that the reason to why my engine broke down was caused by this low quality oil.
I have been told later by a Ducati dealer (this man owns 6 KTM 2 strokes) that the Castrol TTS is bad stuff, and he only runs his bikes on Shell Racing X in worst case scenario the Ultra 2 which he told me he never had any problems with. ...MX factory team that the Castrol TTS sux.
If you are going to use Castrol on your Two stroke engine you MUST use Castrol A747 which is compareable to the Shell Racing X. But way more expensive over here.
I myself will only run my bike on Shell Oils from now on... Preferably the Racing X but I would use the Shell Uttra 2 fully synthetic as an alternative if I can`t get hold of the Racing X. ... more
This Oil has in general a very good reputation amongst most two stroke owners...
Well, I went in the trap... I bought one liter of it for 18GPB, as a replacement to the oil I could not get hold of.... (Shell Ultra 2 / Shell Racing X)
I am riding a highly tuned Aprilia RS125 and I was riding on the highway in Norway on Shell V-Power 99 with 3% Shell Ultra 2 fully synthetic mixed in the tank. I ran out of gas so I flipped the reserve tank switch and got to the nearest gas station to fill 98 gas and i mixed it with the Castroll TTS straight in the tank 3%... The engine lasted for 5-10 miles before the engine had a breakdown... Do I need to say more? The engine had only run 50 miles since it had a complete overhaul.
I immediatly changed the plug and it was caramel brown.
The funny thing about it is... I had been riding in heavy rain all day with the Shell ultra 2 and I was afraid the engine was running lean with the compressorized air caused by the weather... But to my surprize it stopped raining and I went out of gas so I filled 98 octane and blended it with 3% Castrol TTS so the engine should run much richer than when it was raining so I am allmost positive that the reason to why my engine broke down was caused by this low quality oil.

Advantages: Protection it offers, smell, price Disadvantages: Opening the bottle!!!
I have used Castrol TTS for many years now, I first started using Castrol TTS on my tuned two stroke scooters, the oil has always offered first class protection and was recommended to me from friends who race highly tuned motorcycles where oil is a major concern.
The first thing you will notice is the deep brown colour castrol use for the oil, then the smell after the oil has been used, it is like no other, instantly sending a whole generation of ... ...the days of RD's and X7's.
This oil retails for around £9.99 although I have seen it for as low as £5.99. Worth every penny!
If you value your two stroke engine you will know the importanceof good oil, in my opinion, this is the best oil you can buy off the shelf. ...

I have always used the best oil in my Cagiva Mito 125, i use Castroltts full syn, it is a kinda blue coloured oil. Anyway my bike was getting low on oil and i went to my local sjop to buy some where i usually get my oil from it is about £10 a litre. they did not have it, so i went to me local bike shop 3X they did not have it, i went on going to 6 motorcycle shops and none had the oil i wanted. so i had to settle for some mobil semi syn, i was causish about puttin it in. but i did and i paid the price just after 50 mile sof putting it it my bike is palying up big time , it rattles and it rough at 7000rpm and sounds really metallis at 10,000rpm!!! ...
Advantages: Looks, Speed, Handling, Great starter 125 Disadvantages: High Maintenance, Doesn't like the cold, Ride position uncomfortable
I bought my 2006 Aprilia RS 125 in september 2006 and to be honest it has blown me away. I had a very unreliable 1995 Honda NSR before this and it is just as good if not better.
My Aprilia is a resitricted version as i'm a learner (on provisional at 17 Yrs old with CBT) and it easily does 60mph, i think it would do alot more if it were not restricted. The bike is great fun and i would definately recommend this bike to anyone as their first bike.
The bike can be uncomfortable on longer journeys and also the height could prove a problem for shorter riders ie below 5ft 5ish.
You should also note though as it is is a two stroke engine the bike has to be kept at higher revs and to protect the engine i would recommend that you use good quality two stroke oil such as CastrolTTS.
The bike tends not to like starting in the cold ...
Advantages: Fast Learner bike for chicks !! Disadvantages: Cost a bomb but its worth it !
Hi, Ive currnetly got a 2000 model, wow aint it fast for a learner bike, ok the bad points first, ive spent nearly a grand with the fck ups aprilia have !!
Speedo Drive giving way to me twice, new cluth, new tryes (ma falut for doing burn outs) now my front wheel bearings are fckd, anyone know a good website to order them ?
Oh and could anyone tell me where the power valve is meant to go ?
Seriously tho, u got to use good quality 2 stroke, i use castroltts fully symethic @ 12 quid a bottle, fuel is a bit expensive but u shudnt have this bike if u aint got a lil bit of spare cash just in case (trust me u`ll need it) Engine needs rebuilt every 5000 kms but if ur like me and ride it the way its meant to (wait till its heat it and run in b4 opening the throttle)
