Not that I want to but how else do you switch from regular to synthetic? I was going to just pull the hose from the oil resivoir to drain it but that proved to be a bigger pain in my arse then I figured it was gonna be. Those are the smallest hose clamps I have ever seen.
My oil is getting low. The resivoir is about 1/3 full. The oil light is starting to come on....just flashes when going up a big hill or hitting a big bump. Goes back off when on level ground.
I figure all I can do is to run it as low as I can then top off with synthetic.
Any other ideas?
Is it OK to mix regular and synthetic 2 stroke oil?

It won't hurt it at all. The only time you really don't want to use synthetic is during break in. During that time, you want a little more friction so the parts seat well.
I just had my 500 mile servicing and they used synthetic. Only way to go, either 2 or 4 stroke. (2 stroke oil is AMSOil for me)
