I recently started to ride my uncles 1984 Honda 200s ATC, I'm looking for advice on the correct oil to run in this machine.

Thanks

 

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!

Depends on your climate. You can pretty much run just about any kind of oil in it but my manual says that 10w 40 is all around a good oil to run for hot or cold conditions.

DO NOT USE "ANY" OIL!!!!!!!!!!!! Only use Motorcycle 10w-40 or cheap motor oil that does not have the energy cicle on it.
Otherwise you will smoke the clutch plates after a bit.

 

what about a full synthetic oil will it still eat the clutches?

 

The stuff that is meant for wet clutches works well. The regular car synthetic will eat a cluth. Been there done that myself

 

in other words only buy atv oil rite

 

this place can make me feel like a moron - i didnt realize that you couldnt run standard motor oil in it. now i gotta go and check the label on the Kendall oil i use religiously - crap!!!! its what i have been using in all our bikes - now im skeered!!!

 

 

Are you refuring to the recycle type symbol? I have always run car motor oil

 

Look for the "donut" on the bottle. The oil's viscosity is listed in the center of the donut. The API grade is listed on the upper half. The new fuel saving oils have "Energy Conserving" posted on the lower half of the donut.

I Should have said that instead of "Energy Circle"

AND I didn't mean don't use car oil. I meant don't just go throw "Any" car oil in it! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
