Your fine. No need to worry.

There's a guy near here that has an Izhmash Russian 2-stroke, same people that make the Kalashnikov. He uses, exclusively, discarded fry oil from behind restaurants as premix. The bike really does smell of French fries. He's had the bike for years and it's run no problem.

This little mistake is nothing.

valves in spec lovely

and today after 60 miles the dealer gave me a call telling me to dump my oil since the tech used 2 stroke oil to top off by mistake.

since i now no longer trust the dealer and tech. i need to asses the possible damage
oil has been changed and it runs fine (ears now paranoid lol)
should i be worried about any damage to the engine

Like everyone said, it will not really affect anything. Two stroke oil is straight weight with no detergents. 60 miles would really do nothing. It would be worse to do car oil with friction reducers.

Good thing to know if you ever get in a jam and the only oil you can get is either the current friction reducing stuff or two stroke - two stroke.

To give you some piece of mine look at it this way. You take only 3 to 4 ounces of two stroke then dilute it with a gallon of gas and it lubricates an entire engine @ 10,000 plus RPM . Sounds like some slick stuff to me.
