I usually use whatever semi synthetic my dealer has in stock.

I believe that mixing mineral with fully synthetic should be avoided, but others will confirm this (or not!).

Yamalube 2S seems to work for a lot of people, including myself.  But any two stroke oil rated for use with oil injection should be fine.
