Carrying two stroke oil on DualSport rides

Crawdaddy · 01-27-2012, 01:36 PM

Wally World comes through again. I was looking for a SMALL container to hold 2 stroke oil when out riding my 300 XC-W on Dual Sport loops longer than ~90 miles/shorter than ~150 miles. This bottle is clear on the side and calibrated by ounces between 2 and 6.....perfect. Invest $1.94, dump the crap oil in the recycle bin, and refill with Motorex. Now I have a handy/leak proof(?)/small/calibrated container designed to carry oil (rather than carrying a 1 liter Motorex bottle)....that'll free up a lot of room in my Mojavi Saddlebags!

What are you using?

Liquid Amoxicillin prescription bottle. Very leak proof, and it holds exactly enough for adding one gallon at a gas station. The DS rides I do are all less than 100 miles, and my 3.4 gallon IMS tank plus one extra gallon is plenty for the day.

Blood sample bottles.

I used the little 2oz bottles for years for my chain saws. BTW I noticed you live in Ramona my brother lives there, and I maybe soon

I use metal fuel bottles, the kind for camping stoves and such

I just use the small bottle that gets me a 5 gallon 50:1 mix.
I pour in half then add 2.5 gals at pump.

Just bought that on your recommendation. Perfect. Just what I needed for my Kdx with stock tank. I have heard that the bottles from store bought perks work well too....

To resurrect an old post...

A old Stabil bottle works well for shorter 2T rides when extra oil is needed.

I swallow a litre then piss it out when required.
