I'd just like to say that many people on these very forums use car oil in their bikes and it works just fine. And if I'm not mistaken, a certain member has used car oil for the life of his bike and it has over 100,000 miles.

Plenty of people do it, that doesn't change the fact that Honda says not to.

no i don't remember any copper gaskets in the micron instructions. it came out from where the engine block and exhaust manifold was. how do i test if there is a leak? here is the link to the wav file i recorded today.

. . .I don't hear anything like that, though it could be my crappy work speakers. I can try when I get home. A tiny exhaust leak would create a high-pitched "claping" sound, which seems like what you're describing. You're supposed to have a gasket in between the manifold and engine to prevent leaks, and you need to replace it every time you separate the two. They usually don't come with the kits. I know I had to buy mine separate.
