I WHENT TO THE HINSON 8 PLATE CLUTCH. HAS ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN USING MOBIL 1 15/50 SYNTHETIC, HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH CLUTCH SLIPPIGE. DOES IT HAVE MOLLY IN IT? HONDA HAS A NEW SYNTHETIC OIL WITH NO MOLLY IN IT BUT IT'S AROUND $6.75 A QUART. I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I PUT THIS OIL IN.

 

I have been using mobil 1 for about a year and haven't had the clutch slip yet. No engine mods, only supertrapp slip on, uni-filter and jet kit.

 

Hey does hinson make an 8 plate clutch for the 300ex too? Let me know how you like that clutch set, i think the time for a new clutch is getting near for me because it felt like it was slipping today.

HEY, I RUN THE SAME MOTOR WITH THE SAME 900$ HINSON CLUTCH KIT, I RUN ROYAL PURPLE 20W-50, IT HANDLES HEAT GOOD,AND RUNS BETTER....TRY IT..I DIDNT LIKE THE MOBIL ONE, YES I TRIED IT.

 

Mobil 1 15-50 is for cars they make a MC4 or some thing like that for motorcycles. There are important differences made for gear box lubrication and clutches neither of which are made into the car oil.. The MC4 Mobil 1 is $7.50 a qt. here

 

You spent a ton of money on mods and are worried about $6.75 a quart?

I've been running Mobil 1 15w50 in all my quads since '95 and have never had ANY problems. Who ever told you it makes the clutch slip is full of you know what!

WHEN YOU GOTTA CHANGE IT EVERY RIDE, IT ADDDS UP.

 

YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE BASKET, HUB AND PRESSURE PLATE TO GO TO A 8-PLATE CLUTCH. JUST ORDER THE DIFFERENT PLATES AND FIBERS. I THINK THEY COME FROM THE XR-250. HERE'S THE PART #. DISK# 22201-MAL-600, PLATE A, CLUTCH 22321-KFO-770. THESE ARE OEM PARTS.
