Pushin, Why did you switch? Was it cause your clutches kept burning out. Or what?

HONDA HP4 IS THE BEST I HAVE USED FOR THE MONEY COST ABOUT THE SAME AS REFGULAR OIL MAYBE A LITTER HIGHER BUT NOT BAD.

Well after I changed my clutch AGAIN I put the good Ron Wood clutch springs in also, so I decided to run oil that was made for clutches and high revving engines. Some people told me about the Valvoline motorcycle oil and I just stuck with it. I can tell it is really refined oil, it looks almost like cooking oil lol!!! It works really good so I'm gonna stay with this.

Sand Yacht, HP4 is Honda oil, the stealership by me charges $7 a quart. It is good oil, but I would like to find it cheaper. I think I will try something else next time. I have Yamalube around here I use in my bike, I think I will try it.

You should use what ever the owners manual specifies. Usually it will list the API spec.

I use Valvoline ATV Oil, it only cost a little over a buck more than regular car oil.
