Default Trying different oils????

Is there a problem with running different 2-stroke oils to try them out. I would run the bike out of one pre mix before trying another. I am running Yamalube 2-R in my '05 YZ250 and I was going to try Mobil One 2T. I'm back in the 2-stroke world after 20+ years on thumpers. I love my new YZ, What a difference!!! Thanks, Walt

I have heard not to change oils alot, but it probably wont hurt if you dont do it too often...

Each one may present some different jetting issues particularly if you are changing ratios,,but those two wont cause one or the other to settle out,,and that is really what the worry with clotting was. the only oils that were really affected were castor based oils and petroleum mixing. I would probably still stay away from that.
