What does the manufacturer recommend?

Modern clean burning 2 stroke oils are great but some of them apparently aren't suitable for ALL engines.

I have two different classic 2 stroke powered bikes (air cooled engines); neither of the manufacturers recommend modern oils as they tend to burn off the small end bearings too readily.

Advantage for me is that I get to smell lovely castor oil fumes!
