Big Putoline fan and user and have been for years. I wouldn't use the tt light though in anything other than a commuter. I t may be ok and any oil is better than no oil, but it's just designed for town / commuter use. Also they have another couple of oils out, S2 and Classic Scooter. S2 is just another basic oil for anything, so is a pointless addition to an already massive portfolio of lubricants that they have and Classic Scooter which is designed for standard classic scooters, Why? It's another pointless oil and it's not as good as their TT Scooter,semi synthetic and is more expensive too, plus the name is confusing with Classic Scooter x ester tech 100% synthetic, that is marvellous. Hope this helps,cheers,Speedy.

Free oil!!!! It the best you can get. I'd bung it in, it all goes out the exhaust anyway.

I found an unused bottle of 2 stroke mineral oil in the garage so I just add it to my synthetic oil at about 20 to 1 ratio.
