Spooge?

Spooge happens. Two strokes just do it, especially if you ride around at low rpm. Remember, there is oil in the gas..
Probably the best way to combat spooge is to repack the silencer regularly and clean the inside of the expansion chamber.
Preventative measures would be to run an oil with a lower flashpoint. Usually the high dollar fancy oils have a high flashpoint that are great for high load, high rpm use, but are not necessary, or even desirable for most tail riding. I like Motul 710, but there are plenty of good options, usually at half the cost of the "good" oil.
Another note on spooge. Mix ratio has little to nothing to do with it. I run 28:1 with my current jetting because it seems like the magic combo. I experience very little spooge.

Twist the go-grip Krieg - twist it!
I was actually following a really decent thread on TT on this topic, and it seems the proof is in the pudding - if you tear the bottom end down and everything has a nice lubricious coating, you've got the right amount of oil, no matter if or what your tailpipe drips.

Run a drip string from your silencer to your chain. Automatic oiler.

We get heaps of spooge here in Australia. We have a 200 and 300 2011 6 day and both have it running down the the silencer. We both run GRO SYNT-7 at 50:1 and GAS GAS Australia says that they won't warrant the bikes if we use anything else. We have the spooge drip directly onto the rear disc, they are aligned perfectly. Who needs brakes anyway, they only slow you down.

A lot
50:1 Maxima K2 , full length of the silencer after a 2 hour trail ride, still working out my jetting for temp and altitude- does anyone know of a chart that might be simpler than the GG manual? we had a pretty nice one for our KTM 200exc.

This is the case with most S/A mufflers on bikes that are ridden with the powervalve closed more than open. I used to run a straight thru muffler in the winter (wet for us) months to reduce replacing muffler packing.

Exactly, I do the same, SA only when inspected for it. Guys, more than anything its the oil. A good high flash point oil, like Amsoil or K2, will not burn. Thats why the PV and head is so clean, but you trap what blows out in the silencer if the exhaust velocity is low, like at low speeds. After a few days this past weekend riding with my wife and kids I need a repacking!

clay: maybe your bike is under "higher load" than your son's is, and it's burning off the oil more efficiently??????? just sayin',maybe it could happen?
