Ok so I did my first oil change on the bike this morning, took it for a ride and its like a new bike! Clutch which I thought was bad wasnt slipping anymore and it seemed to run alot better. I can actually clutch wheelies now which was impossible before. Im guessing the last owner had the wrong oil in it? The guy told me it had just been serviced and the oil looked clean when I bought it. Actually had the service tag still zip tied on the bars. I put the recommended honda hn4 10w40 in it. Does the oil effect a wet clutch that much?

 

Well I was always told that if you user oil with Molly that it will make your clutch slip and it will tear it up. So I would guess that it would get better by switching back to the honda oil. I didnt know it would make that much of a difference. Maybe it is your bikes way of saying thank you lol.

 

oil with energy conservation junk in it is bad and will make it slip. i used regular mobile 1 synthetic

 

honda bike i'd stick with honda oil...the engineers probably know something i dont

 

yea they dont want you giving your money to someone else
eh..the mobile 1 synthetic works good for me. My honda shop doesnt sell honda oil they sell some other stuff not honda.

 

[8D] its all slick right?

 

Well its been working great for a few days and now its back to slipping again[:@] Guess I need a new clutch.

 

you cant adjust it anymore??

 

Honda shop that does not sell honda oil. Are you sure you are at a Real honda shop?
