Hi guys, I currently am running the Blue Marble oil, which seems to be alright. Thinking about switching over to Legend ZX-2R oil. Anybody have any experience with this oil, don't think I've heard anything bad about this oil. I know a lot of people run different oils and have there opinions, but I'm only interested in any replies to these 2 oils. Thanks and take it easy, or for some, Ride Hard.

We tried the Legend oil in our 6,7 and 800 ves sleds. It did ok in the 800's with the Stainless steel valves but seems to gum the crap out of the aluminum valves and also seems to shorten the life of the bellows. I use it in my dirtbike since I still have a bunch left and it works great in my KDX and and sons YZ without any sticky valve issues or any other issues for that matter and mix it at 50:1. I found Yamalube 2s works best as far as keeping the valves clean on these polaris ves motors and have had no problems with my 800 ves yet. 11,000 miles and counting. It is also easy to find and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Also Citgo sea&snow is pretty much the same as the Yamaha 2s with the same results I don't know if you can find up there in your part of the country.

Thanks for the reply. Legend oil is sure hard to get around here, but I'm able to get Yamalube no problem. I'm just about out on Blue marble, ran it for about 9000 miles and my oil pump gave out and one piston got scratched up, but not as bad as i thought. 11,000 miles sure is a lot, i think i will do a little research before next season on yamalube.

for what its worth phillips 66 injex is really good to

Well I like the Legend. I found that I had quite the opposite effect on the valves on my 600 and 700 VES twins. My 550 fanner likes it, as does the Storm and every other 2 stroke that I have. But then again I have used what is currently availible from Legend since this mix had it's R& D Okeedoke. I tested prototype lube for Legend during 2005-2006 on at least four different personal sleds and have grown fond of it. The early ZX series "oils" have been refined nowadays. I am not a snake oil person either. Just my .02 cents.

I have tried many oils, here is what I have found in my unscientific testing, the synthetic oils I have used gummed (hard and crusty baked on carbon) my valves worse than mineral oils, Blue marble has little smell, but was not that clean on the valves and I never bought into all the hype and claims and really did not trust it, Legend has had many blends and additives over the years and their new ZX2SR oil that I used this year was great, burns very good and clean, nice smell, plugs never foul, I was very happy with this oil and will continue to use it and recommend it JMHO.
