If your just kicking about on the scooter, no. If you are going on a decent run and will be siting with the throttle open for a long time, then yes put an extra splash of oil in the tank. That's what I do.

Up to 2% at higher rpm - lower at low rpm as 2% isn't required and just causes excess carbon deposits (and uses more oil).philhnottm wrote:so an auto lube is 2% ??
Just use a good quality synthetic.
