I finally found an Amsoil dealer in my area. I bought my first gallon today, wanted to get one last poll before I put It in. Has anyone had any problems running it in an 02 ZR 800 efi.
, Sled has about 1800 mi on it.It was starting get a little finciky fireing it up after it was warm.so I decided to change the plugs. Plugs that were in it looked to be burning fine, a little rich if anything, which was cool with me. After riding with the new plugs for maybe a mie or two I decided to check them. The plugs were pretty fresh still, but what had burned seemed to be more gray ( or light) in color than the oringinals..What do you think ? Should I be concerned or put a few more miles on them then recheck. And yes the plugs are the same as the original. Thanks

keep an eye on those plugs grey is not good or worse white brown is what you want or even black but dry efi ? right hmm that sounds weird

Don't know where you are in Mich., but I get my Amsoil from a private dealer in Davison, he has a day job and just sells oil on the side. You can PM me if interested.

Im in the south west corner of Michigan, So have you had good luck with the amsoil? I think im going to put another set of plugs in. The reason this concerns me is, I have Tlt 250 r quad, after riding all day one time, I decided to change the plug. Just because It had been a while since the last change. Ddnt even make it to third gear and burned a hole in the piston and the whole top of the plug completely off. Turned out to be a defective plug. Dont want that to happen to my sled.

I do like the Amsoil, this year is my first riding a sled with exhaust valves. Piror to this I ran mineral based Golden Spectrol, buy it by the bulk gallon at MPS in Clio. Bring your own jug, if memory serves it was approx. $12 per gal. Still use that in wifes 99 ZR. My two riding partners have been using Amsoil since last season, and I switched when I got the new sled. Seems to burn cleaner, not as much smoke or smell. Amsoil offers two levels of synthetic, I went with the less expensive, partners went the high road. Same amout of miles (750) we pulled the exhaust valves and checked, no noticable difference in amount of build-up. I think all three of us we stick with the less expensive synthetic. We haven't had any major engine failures, so I can't really speak to that. Althought I believe any oil will keep an engine alive, longevity, cleanliness and price are my main deciding factors.

I'm not sure what others here do, but when I do a plug check, I take a new set along with me, go for a ride and find an area where I can run sled flat out for a fair distance, maybe 1/8 mile. Now becase I rode the sled to get there, it is warm. Shut it off, put in the new plugs, fire it up, and run that 1/8 mile WOT. After you have held it at WOT for a fair distance, and before releasing throttle, hit the kill switch, coast to a stop, pull plugs and read them. This is the way I was taught to do it years ago, but I don't claim to be an expert, maybe some others could post on this subject.

Ya, thats pretty much how I plug check too, the plugs seem to look pretty good now, after putting a few miles on them. But I still have to hold the throttle wide open on start up about 60 % of the tiime. Runs well and idles after i start it, though it does take a second to level off Immediatley after wide open start up. Not sure why this is. It used to be half a pull after it was warmed up.... Maybe the fuel designation plug? Its like its too rich on start up. Like I said, other than that it runs good. Any Ideas appreciated. thanks for the feed back. Pouring in the Amsoil tomorrow.

my 2001 600 efi didnt want to start when warm and i had to pin hte throttle and it was all loaded up. turns out the water temp sensor was half way unpluged so the computer thought it was starting a cold engine all the time.
