Modern 2 stroke oils & old triples: lean off the oil pump setting or not? Posted by Craig on 5/14/2001, 7:55 am 195.102.201.164 With modern synthetic oils being so good compared to the stuff that was available in the 70s, I've seen a couple of opinions which say you can back off the oil pump adjustment a bit as: a) the oil's much better at lubricating b) as the oil pump gets worn, it delivers more oil anyway What do you all think about this? My bike's a '76 380A, using Silkolene Comp 2+ full synthetic oil, with oil pump set as per manual. It doesn't smoke when hot, or foul plugs at all, but I do get bits of oily goop out of the tailpipes after a good run.
